About this opportunity

The Air Force Technical Applications Center seeks network services capable of providing long haul communications between remote seismic monitoring locations and the United States National Data Center located at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida. The communications network must transmit serial and Ethernet formatted seismic, voice, and file data between the primary data center and remote sites that lack reliable power and cellular access. It must also have the ability to transmit data to an alternate data center at Naval Support Activity Mid-South in Tennessee when the primary location is inoperable. Proposals are due by March 19, 2024 with any questions regarding the request for proposals due by February 29, 2024. The Defense Information Systems Agency will evaluate proposals.

This requirement has been set aside for total small business. The network services are to be provided within the continental United States to seismic monitoring locations for an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract. The primary NAICS code is 517110 for wired telecommunications carriers while the main PSC code covers network services. Incumbency information was not disclosed though the requirement involves continuity of operations for an existing network.
