Fiber Connectivity Project Services

The government authority in Russellville, Arkansas is seeking fiber connectivity project services for a new agriculture building and classroom. The agency needs to establish reliable network connectivity by installing new underground infrastructure and single-mode fiber between designated locations. This project addresses the lack of physical network connection to the newly constructed educational facilities. The scope of work covers the installation of a new underground conduit path, ground vaults, and Tracesafe wiring in any conduit lacking it. The selected contractor must perform the installation, labeling, termination, and certification of the new single-mode fiber. The agency requires the provider to supply all parts, tools, labor, and materials necessary to complete the new conduit paths and connect the fiber vault near the new building. Bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States to be eligible for this opportunity. The agency requires all interested parties to attend a mandatory site visit on June 8, 2026, to inspect the project locations. While the physical infrastructure will be installed at the government site in Russellville, the agency indicates that performance of the work will be offsite. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed a pre-set funding limit. Evaluation criteria are not detailed in the initial request, but compliance with the mandatory site visit and onshore eligibility rules is required. Proposals must address all specified installation, termination, and certification requirements to be considered for selection.
