Fiber Optic Cable and Materials Supply

The contract calls for the supply of 12-strand single-mode fiber optic cable along with associated infrastructure including conduit, splice enclosures, termination panels, and all necessary hardware required for installation at Columbus Air Force Base. All materials must meet technical specifications for military-grade durability and performance in operational environments. The effort is structured as a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside as defined by the SBA, meaning only small business concerns are eligible to bid, in alignment with FAR 19.5. The NAICS code 423610 categorizes this as a telecommunications and wired communications equipment merchant wholesaler procurement, indicating a focus on distribution and supply chain capability rather than direct installation services. The opportunity was posted on May 8, 2026, with a formal response deadline of June 8, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. The place of performance is specified with a zip code of 39710, which corresponds to Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi. The contracting activity is linked to the Department of Defense under the FA3022 14 Cons Lgca organization, suggesting this is part of a larger infrastructure modernization or communication system upgrade initiative. The solicitation does not list a point of contact, implying all inquiries must be handled through the official SAM.gov portal, and the procurement is exclusively accessible via the provided online workspace link. Timing and the set-aside classification emphasize urgency and a commitment to supporting small business participation in defense-related supply efforts.
