AI Contract Overview
The Alaska National Guard is seeking a firm-fixed-price contract for a hybrid mailing and shipping solution to support five locations across Alaska, with a base year and four one-year option periods, extending through August 2031. The solution consists of one physical, high-capacity postage meter system installed at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, capable of processing 130 letters per minute with a 70-pound scale capacity, printing postage, and generating web-accessible reports detailing weight, cost per piece, total postage expenses, and volume of outgoing mail. This system must hold a Certificate of Networthiness for DoD network compliance, include full-service maintenance, replacement supplies, on-site or virtual training, discounted federal rates, and a non-complex postage download process. Additionally, four independent cloud-based software subscriptions are required for remote locations—Wasilla, Bethel, Fairbanks, and Fort Greely—enabling users to generate and print official USPS and carrier shipping labels via standard printers without local software installation. These subscriptions must securely integrate with DoD web browsers, comply with network security standards including CoN or FedRAMP, and automatically sync all postage usage, tracking, and shipping history to a centralized dashboard at JBER for administrative oversight. All equipment and services must be delivered and operational by September 1, 2026, at Building 49-000, Camp Denali, JBER-Richardson, with potential relocation during the contract term requiring prior government approval. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 532420 and Product Service Code W074, with evaluations based on total lifecycle price, technical compliance with minimum specifications, and past performance. Proposals must be submitted via email by July 17, 2026, at 1700 AKDT and include firm-fixed pricing for all ten CLINs covering the base and option years. Contract administration requires use of the Wide Area WorkFlow system for electronic invoicing and receiving reports, with payments processed under DoDAAC HQ0670. Offerors must maintain SAM registration, be free from exclusions, and comply with provisions including Safeguarding Covered Defense Information, prohibitions on inverted corporations and Maduro regime business, whistleblower rights, electronic payment transfer, accelerated payments to small business subcontractors, and cybersecurity reporting. The contractor will be accountable for full compliance with all DoD regulations, including DFARS and FAR clauses on subcontract
