Quick Summary
The AFMC AFTC/PZIOA Contracting office at Edwards AFB is conducting market research through a Sources Sought/Request for Information (RFI) for high-speed broadband internet services for a dormitory environment. This project requires service for a minimum of 400 individual rooms, meeting or exceeding FCC broadband speed benchmarks, and requiring an Authority to Operate (ATO). Responses will help define the final requirement and acquisition strategy, potentially including small business set-asides. Responses are due April 3, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement involves the installation and management of a broadband internet infrastructure to provide reliable, high-speed internet to each of the 400 rooms. The service must meet or exceed FCC benchmarks of 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload speeds. A key consideration is the existing telecommunications infrastructure, and respondents should address opportunities and challenges related to its use, upgrade, or replacement.
