DISTRIBUTIVE ANTENNA SYSTEM (DAS)

The Maritime Administration, under the Department of Transportation, is forecasting a requirement for a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) at the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point. The primary objective of this project is to extend cellular coverage across the campus, specifically targeting dormitories, classrooms, administrative offices, and recreation facilities to eliminate dead zones. By integrating a network of connected antennas and signal amplification equipment, the system will enhance both indoor and outdoor wireless reception, providing reliable voice and data services for students, faculty, and staff while interfacing seamlessly with existing telecommunications infrastructure. Beyond improving daily communication and data throughput, the implementation of this DAS is intended to bolster campus safety and emergency response capabilities by ensuring robust connectivity in critical areas where conventional signals are often weak or obstructed. This procurement falls under NAICS code 517112 and is managed through the Maritime Administration. Interested parties can coordinate with designated points of contact at the academy for further information regarding this upcoming requirement.
