AI Contract Overview

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Synopsis to identify qualified vendors capable of installing a Cat6A copper cabling infrastructure across two facilities in La Jolla and Santa Cruz, California. The effort aims to support a local area network and wireless access point expansion, requiring the pulling and termination of 84 plenum-rated Cat6A cables using T568B standards, full Level IIIe/IV or higher Permanent Link Testing, and submission of certification reports. Work must be completed within a 90-day period during standard business hours, with contractors responsible for providing all tools, equipment, and labor. The government is seeking feedback on the clarity of the draft Statement of Work, the realism of the timeline, the impact of mandatory NOAA personnel escorts, and the appropriateness of NAICS 238210 for this wiring scope. Respondents are also asked to provide rough order of magnitude pricing estimates and advise on any industry standards or supply chain limitations involving cable brands such as Superior Essex. Responses must include a capability statement, company details including UEI and CAGE code, socioeconomic designation, and answers to specific technical and logistical questions, all submitted as a single PDF under five pages to the designated point of contact by July 9, 2026. This action is strictly for market research and does not obligate the government to issue a contract or compensate respondents for their time or information provided. Contractors must comply with strict security protocols, including continuous escort by NOAA staff and compliance with the Real ID Act of 2005, requiring approved forms of federal identification for site access. Upon completion, all work must be left clean and tidy with packaging materials removed, and any damage caused during installation must be repaired to its original condition. A one-year warranty covers all materials, equipment, and labor, requiring the contractor to replace or repair defective items within three business days at no cost to the government. Certification reports must be delivered electronically, and printed wraparound labels are required on all cables, patch panels, and faceplates. While no contract value is established at this stage, the solicitation number SWFSC-26-00001 and agency code 1333MF confirm the formal tracking of this procurement initiative within the Department of Commerce, with Brand Name or Equal provisions applicable if a subsequent solicitation is issued.

Responses to this Sources Sought Synopsis will be used by the Government in making appropriate acquisition decisions.


This request for information does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement action will be issued. Nor does this request for information constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that any procurement action may be issued for the Government’s requirements.


No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the Government will arise because of the submission of contractor’s information. The Government shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for proprietary information not properly identified. Proprietary information will be safeguarded in accordance with the applicable Government regulations.


1. General Information


  • Primary NAICS Code (Anticipated): 238210 – Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors (Construction)
  • Product Service Code (PSC): N060 – Installation of Equipment: Fiber Optic Cable System and Components OR Y1BG – Construction of Electronic and Communications Facilities

2. Description & Purpose


The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) as part of a market research effort to identify qualified vendors capable of performing an intra-building structured cabling installation. The work spans two distinct geographical locations: La Jolla, CA, and Santa Cruz, CA.


The government is seeking industry feedback to refine the attached draft Statement of Work (SOW), titled "DRAFT-Copper Cabling Pull - SOW.docx", to ensure clarity, commercial feasibility, and competitive interest.


3. Scope of Work Summary


The selected contractor will be responsible for the planning, design, and end-to-end installation of a Cat6A copper cabling infrastructure supporting a local area network (LAN) and wireless access point expansion. Key components include:


  • Pulling and routing new Cat6A plenum-rated cables to designated termination points.
  • Terminating cables using T568B standards into patch panels or field-terminable plugs (MPTL).
  • Conducting Level IIIe/IV (or higher) Permanent Link Testing and providing full certification reports.
  • Providing all labor, tools, ladders, and equipment necessary to complete the project within a 90-day period of performance.

For detailed performance standards, material requirements, and floor plans, please review the attached document: "DRAFT-Copper Cabling Pull - SOW.docx".


4. Information Requested from Industry


Interested firms are requested to submit a Capability Statement and respond to the following questions. Please limit responses to no more than five (5) pages.


Company Profile


  1. Company Name, Address, UEI number, and CAGE code.
  2. Socioeconomic status under NAICS 238210 (e.g., 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, Small Business, or Large Business).

Technical & SOW Feedback


  1. SOW Clarity: Does the attached file, "DRAFT-Copper Cabling Pull - SOW.docx", provide sufficient detail regarding pathways, existing infrastructure, and termination requirements to allow for a firm-fixed-price quote? If not, what specific gaps exist?
  2. Logistics & Escorts: The SOW indicates that NOAA personnel will escort contractors at all times. Given that cabling work often involves multiple teams splitting up across floors, will this escort requirement significantly impact your labor hours or project timeline?
  3. Timeline: Is the 90-day period of performance realistic for a dual-site deployment (La Jolla and Santa Cruz) under standard business hours (8:00 AM to 5:00 PM)?
  4. NAICS Classification: Do you agree that NAICS 238210 (Construction/Wiring) is the most appropriate code for this requirement, or do you typically perform this work under a Telecommunications service code (e.g., 517111 / 517121)?

Magnitude of Effort & Pricing Guidance


  1. What is the Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) or estimated price range your firm anticipates for a project of this size and scope?
  2. Are there any commercial industry standards, specific brand-name equivalents (e.g., Superior Essex alternatives), or supply chain constraints that the government should consider before issuing the final solicitation?

5. Submission Instructions


Please submit your response electronically in PDF format to Kimberla.Fairley@noaa.gov. Please use the subject line: "RFI Response: NOAA SWFSC Cabling Infrastructure NMFS/SWFSC".
