Broadband Implementation Project Services

The government authority located in San Luis Obispo, California is seeking broadband implementation project services to expand its fiber optic infrastructure. The agency requires the installation of fiber optic cables capable of supporting 288, 576, and 864 Mass Fusion fiber splices, with the capacity to expand for additional cable ports or splicing capacity. The project solves the agency's need for high-capacity, expandable network connectivity adhering to strict technical performance standards. The scope of work covers installing cables in accordance with manufacturer requirements and performing fusion splicing using apparatus applicable to the fiber type and size. The agency requires wavelengths of 1310, 1383, and 1550 nanometers with maximum attenuation of 0.35, 0.35, and 0.25 decibels per kilometer respectively. The specified cable standards include a maximum short-term tensile strength of 606.98 pound-force, a minimum bend radius operation of 7.99 inches, and a minimum bend radius installation of 12.01 inches. Splicing insertion loss must not exceed 0.2 decibels on single-mode fibers and 0.25 decibels on multimode fibers. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States of America. The agency allows the performance of the work to be completed offsite. Bidders must submit proposals digitally via email or online, and the agency is currently seeking budget proposals to determine project funding. The agency requires all questions regarding this opportunity to be submitted no later than June 26, 2026.
