Quick Summary
The Kansas National Guard, under the Department of the Army, is conducting a Sources Sought for market research to identify qualified small businesses for the installation of a critical electrical line to Building 35's communications room in Prairie Village, KS. This project aims to ensure continuous power to the communications node during outages. Responses are due by January 29, 2026. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside, though it may become unrestricted if adequate small business competition is not found.
Opportunity Details
This Sources Sought is for planning purposes only and seeks to gather information on potential sources for a future requirement. The work involves installing a critical electrical line to Building 35's communications room, connecting it to the critical loop fed from Building 16.
