About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Tulsa has issued a Special Notice regarding the Software Integration Lab at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. The notice pertains to the procurement of the Corning Edge Multi-Classification System for a firm-fixed price construction contract. This procurement is being conducted in accordance with Section 888(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 and requires a justification and approval (J&A) process for using brand name or equal descriptions. The specific project involves constructing the Software Integration Lab within Building 9201, which necessitates a significant amount of fiber optic cabling. The use of the Corning Edge Multi-Classification System is expected to provide substantial cost savings by reducing fiber optic cabling requirements and minimizing the need for larger pathways, system furniture, and rack space.

Contractors interested in this opportunity are invited to submit a capability statement to brian.j.welch@usace.army.mil by 10:00 AM Central Standard Time on February 25, 2025. The Special Notice emphasizes that all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which will be considered by the agency. This is not a formal request for proposal, but rather a notice of intent to proceed with a specific brand name system for the project. The procurement falls under the Commercial and Institutional Building Construction NAICS category (236220) and is classified under the Construction of Other Administrative Facilities and Service Buildings PSC category. Potential contractors should carefully review the justification and approval requirements outlined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.303 and be prepared to demonstrate their capability to meet the specific technical requirements of the Corning Edge Multi-Classification System installation.
