Fiber Optic and Network Modernization Service

The government authority located in Captain Cook, Hawaii is seeking a contractor to provide fiber optic and network modernization services. The agency needs to establish a new structured fiber optic network cable connection from an existing location to a mounted wall rack. This project addresses the need for updated network infrastructure by requiring the installation of new fiber and Cat6 cable, conductors, and devices both inside the project buildings and externally. The scope of work covers furnishing and placing all termination devices, including fiber distribution panels, bulkheads, couplers, and fiber splice modules. The agency requires fusion-based fiber-optic connector splicing with two fiber optic strands of the exact make and model on each end using factory terminated pigtails, explicitly ruling out epoxy splices. The contractor must provide minimum 20-foot service loops for all backbone cables at internal building termination locations, and 10-foot service loops in hand hole or vault locations at the first, last, and 90-degree direction-change points. Additionally, the project requires the installation of approved fire stopping systems in all communication pass-throughs, conduit, and cable tray wall and floor penetrations. Eligibility for this procurement is restricted to onshore USA organizations, and the solicitation is set aside entirely for small businesses. The agency requires the performance of the work to be completed onsite at the Captain Cook facility. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally either via email or through the online system. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not provided a specific funding limit or key dates in the solicitation.
