Jetted Fiber Training and Equipment

The U.S. Air Force, through the 502nd Contracting Squadron at JBSA Lackland, Texas, is conducting voluntary market research under solicitation FA301626Q0135 to identify qualified small businesses capable of providing pneumatic MiniJet cable blowing equipment, accessories, consumables, and formal training for jetted fiber installation across all three JBSA locations. This initiative, classified as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5 and NAICS code 333912, seeks input from contractors with expertise in air-blown fiber technology, specifically those capable of supplying a Plumettaz MiniJet or equivalent system capable of handling fiber and micro-cable diameters from Ø4 to 16mm and ducts up to 42mm outer diameter, featuring a belt drive system, clamping mechanism, and integrated distance/speed counter. The equipment package includes the MiniJet unit, an Ultimaz or MiniJet consumables kit with specialized lubricants, sealing components, and a 50-foot 3/4-inch air hose, alongside supporting hardware such as microduct splice kits, cutters, slitters, and distribution enclosures. Respondents must also demonstrate the ability to deliver industry-recognized certification training equivalent to programs from SIRC, Light Brigade, Dura-Line Academy, Plumettaz, FiberDK, or the Fiber Optic Association, validating practical proficiency in fiber jetting techniques. Participation is entirely voluntary and not a solicitation for quotes; no contract award is anticipated at this stage, and no evaluation results will be provided.
