FIBER TERMINAL EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT. PURCHASE OF ICON EQUIPMENT TO REPLACE THE END-OF-LIFE JMUX SYSTEM.

The Southwestern Power Administration, under the U.S. Department of Energy, is forecasting the purchase of ICON fiber terminal equipment to replace the aging and end-of-life JMUX system. This acquisition is aimed at modernizing critical fiber optic infrastructure to ensure reliable and efficient communication services. The project falls under NAICS code 541519, indicating it involves other computer-related services, likely encompassing the integration, installation, and support of the new terminal equipment. The procurement is not currently soliciting bids but is published as a forecast to provide industry awareness and encourage pre-proposal outreach, particularly with small businesses. Brooke Butcher, the Small Business Program Manager, serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries related to this opportunity, and all communications should be directed to her email address. No specific location for performance or set-aside details are provided, suggesting the procurement may be nationwide or dependent on existing infrastructure needs.
