Internet Service for Kilmer Hall Student Activity Center

The contract provides internet service for the Kilmer Hall Student Activity Center located at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, with a total duration spanning up to 60 months, including a one-year base period and four one-year option periods. The requirement calls for a 1 Gigabyte dedicated internet line as primary access and a 300 Mbps dedicated coaxial backup line to ensure high availability and fail-over capability; these specifications are structured across multiple CLINs for each year of performance, with Amendment 2 correcting the CLIN structure to ensure consistency in unit designation. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, limited to small businesses meeting the NAICS code 517111 and the 1,500 employee size standard. Offerors must register in the System for Award Management (SAM), comply with all required representations and certifications, and submit a responsive quote that includes accurate CLIN structure and detailed product specifications—failure to meet these criteria renders a quote technically unacceptable. The award will be made based on the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method, requiring all quoted items to be offered under a firm-fixed price arrangement with unit and extended prices rounded to the nearest dollar and divisible by the number of units. Performance must occur during standard duty hours weekdays excluding federal holidays, with work requiring pre-approval if outside these parameters. The place of performance is on the JBSA Fort Sam Houston installation, with access subject to stringent security protocols including vehicle pass requirements, identification vetting, and compliance with DoD security regulations for unescorted entry. All invoicing and payment processing must occur electronically through the Wide Area WorkFlow system using designated DoDAACs, with accelerated payments mandated for small business subcontractors. The contractor must also adhere to cybersecurity requirements under FAR 252.204-7012 for safeguarding covered defense information, and comply with prohibitions on acquiring certain telecommunications equipment. Contract modifications are governed by provisions allowing price adjustments through formal amendments, and the Government retains the right to terminate for convenience. The contractor is responsible for providing emergency contact information for personnel on installation and ensuring all personnel are properly vetted and credentialed, with failure to meet health and safety standards potentially leading to contract termination.
