The contract seeks a small business to install a Fiber-To-The-Desk (FTTD) system in Building 1109 on Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts, with the goal of delivering secure, scalable, and compliant network connectivity for both classified and unclassified environments. The scope includes deploying fiber cabling infrastructure that meets TIA-568.3-D and TIA-606 standards, using GSA-approved IPS containers, lockable patch panels, and proper cable management, with all work to be completed within either 60 or 90 calendar days post-award. The solution must be TAA and NDAA compliant, fully compatible with Cisco Room Kit-based VTC systems, and aligned with AFOSH safety requirements and telecommunications restrictions under FAR 52.204-24, FAR 52.204-26, and DFARS 252.204-7017. As-built drawings, maintenance manuals, and warranty documentation must be prepared by a Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD) and submitted upon completion. All equipment and services must originate from TAA-compliant countries, and the contractor must demonstrate capability to source materials and labor within the performance window. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, with evaluation conducted on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, meaning proposals must first be deemed technically acceptable across all non-price factors—Technical, Small Business Status, and Past Performance—before price is considered. Non-price factors are assessed using an Acceptable/Unacceptable rating system, and failure to meet any minimum requirement results in disqualification. The contract is firm fixed price with up to four optional years, though pricing information is not disclosed in the solicitation. Contractors must comply with stringent security protocols including DFARS 252.204-7012, NIST SP 800-171, and potential CMMC requirements, and must report cybersecurity incidents as required. Personnel require base access credentials, must wear identification at all times, and provide emergency contact information for the EMNS. Invoicing must be submitted via WAWF, and all proposals are limited to 20 pages and must include SAM registration, UEI and CAGE codes, and completed representations for small business status and telecommunications equipment restrictions. Payment will be processed through the specified DoD accounts at Hanscom AFB, and final acceptance rests solely with the Government at the work site
