AI Contract Overview
This is a sources sought notice issued by the U.S. Department of Defense through the 577 SWES/DIFF office for market research on the geotechnical evaluation, procurement, and foundation construction of 100-foot monopole towers in support of the GASNT Increment 2, Block 1 program. The notice explicitly states no solicitation is active and no contract will be awarded based on responses; it is solely for evaluating industry capability. Contractors must be capable of designing and building foundations in strict compliance with ANSI/TIA-222 Risk Category 4 and ACI 318 standards, procuring 100-foot hot-dip galvanized steel monopoles per ASTM A123, and delivering all required documentation including PE-stamped as-built drawings, geotechnical surveys, structural calculations, and materials certifications. The scope includes installation of three factory-installed grounding studs, a top lightning protection port, specified port configurations, and two 4-inch and one 1.5-inch SCH 80 PVC conduits, but explicitly excludes tower erection, antenna installation, cabling, system testing, and FAA Form 7460-1 compliance, which remain under government or follow-on contractor responsibility. Performance is required across seven military installations nationwide with strict deadlines ranging from November 2026 to July 2027, and contractors must demonstrate the ability to operate under military base security protocols including background checks, ID badge requirements, escort rules, and on-site waste management with off-base disposal certification. All engineering drawings must be signed and sealed by a licensed Professional Engineer in the state of performance, and a 24-hour advance notice must be provided for government QA inspection prior to concrete pours, accompanied by photo documentation of rebar and conduit embedment. Submissions must include company profile with CAGE and UEI codes, NAICS 238110 classification as a small business, past performance evidence on similar DoD projects, and proof of PE licensing availability across seven states. Deliverables must also include a one-year warranty, transferred manufacturer warranties, Bill of Materials, Operations and Maintenance Manuals, and a signed Certificate of Compliance for all applicable standards. The solicitation number is W50S83-26-Q-0010, responses are due by July 8, 2026, and all submissions must be directed to the 101st Contracting Office in Bangor, Maine.

The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this notice.
2.0 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE
The Government (577 SWES/DIFF) requires specialized contractor support to perform geotechnical evaluations, procure 100-foot monopole towers, and construct supporting foundations at multiple military installations nationwide. This infrastructure will prepare the sites for subsequent tower erection and system integration (performed by others) in support of the GASNT Increment 2, Block 1 system.
3.0 SCOPE OF WORK SUMMARY
The Contractor will be responsible for engineering, procurement, and foundation construction. The primary design standard for this effort is ANSI/TIA-222 (Risk Category 4).
Requirement CategoryDescription
Tower SpecificationsProcure 100-foot monopole (hot-dip galvanized steel per ASTM A123) capable of supporting four (4) Vertically Polarized VHF/UHF Dipole Antennas and a universal ring mount.
Port & Conduit ConfigurationMinimum ports: One (1) 10x24 inch base port, two (2) 6x12 inch top ports. Foundation conduits: Two (2) 4-inch SCH 80 PVC and one (1) 1.5-inch SCH 80 PVC.
Grounding & LightningThree (3) factory-installed grounding studs at the base; one (1) threaded lightning protection port at the top.
Foundation EngineeringDesigned in strict accordance with ANSI/TIA-222 and ACI 318. Anchor bolt placement tolerance of +/- 1/16 inch. All final drawings must be stamped by a Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) for the state of performance.
Site ComplianceFull compliance with military base security, traffic laws, and safety regulations. Escort/ID badge rules apply. Contractor must provide their own trash receptacles and handle off-base disposal.
