WiFi Internet for Unaccompanied Housing

The United States Air Force, 375 Contracting Squadron at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, is soliciting quotes for the installation and maintenance of WiFi internet services for three unaccompanied housing buildings (Belleville Hall, Mascoutah Hall, and Shiloh Hall). This small business set-aside project, under NAICS code 517111, requires the contractor to deploy a 10GB fiber backbone and install Main and Intermediate Distribution Frames, PoE switches, and access points to provide coverage for 396 dorm rooms. The technical requirements include meeting FCC broadband benchmarks of 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload, implementing a captive portal for login, and applying content filtering. The anticipated period of performance is from September 15, 2026, to September 14, 2027, with four additional one-year options. The contract is a firm fixed price agreement with strict performance standards, including a 24-hour response time for service outages and a 90 to 95 percent compliance rate for service speed and delivery. Due to the nature of the work at Scott AFB, contractors must adhere to rigorous security protocols, including Tier 1 background checks, LEADS consent, and Antiterrorism Level I training. Offerors are required to submit a capability statement, a network design plan, and a past performance information sheet. Following two amendments, the final quote deadline was extended to September 4, 2026. The government will evaluate submissions based on technical performance, schedule adherence, and the ability to meet specific quality assurance thresholds.
