This is a sources sought synopsis only. The U.S. Government has a requirement to install a dedicated fiber optic line from existing off base infrastructure to the Communications building capable of providing internet service with symmetrical 500 Mbps or 1 GBPS symmetrical download/upload with static IPs available. See the attached Statement of Work for details. Be advised that the U.S. Government will not be able to set aside this requirement if 2 or more small businesses do not respond with information to support a set-aside. We encourage all small businesses, in all socioeconomic categories (including, 8(a) Business Development Program, Small Disadvantage Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned Small Business concerns), to identify their capabilities in meeting the requirement at a fair market price. This notice is issued solely for information and planning purposes - it does not constitute a Request for Quote (RFQ)/Invitation for Bid (IFB)/Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFQ, IFB or RFP in the future. This notice does not commit the U.S. Government to contract for any supply or service. Further, the U.S. Government is not seeking quotes, bids or proposals at this time and will not accept unsolicited proposals in response to this sources sought notice. The U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice. Submittals will not be returned to the responder. Not responding to this notice does not preclude participation in any future RFQ or IFB or RFP, if any is issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on BETA.SAM.gov - Contracting Opportunities. It is the responsibility of potential offerors to monitor Contracting Opportunities for additional information pertaining to this requirement.

Inputs are requested pertaining to price differentials or other factors that may need to be considered. 4.
