Dorm Internet Services

The Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) AFTC/PZIO at Edwards Air Force Base is conducting market research for a high‑speed broadband Internet solution to serve a dormitory complex of at least 400 rooms. The service must meet or exceed the FCC benchmark of 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload per room and must be delivered with an Authority to Operate (ATO). Respondents must address the existing in‑building telecommunications infrastructure installed by a commercial provider, outlining options to use, upgrade, or replace current wiring (coaxial, Cat5/6, fiber) and describing any “rip‑and‑replace” processes, including impact on residents. The RFI also requires a technical approach that covers individual‑room versus shared access points, a user welcome portal for terms acceptance and profile management, tiered speed‑upgrade options with associated billing models, transition procedures to avoid service lapses, risk identification and mitigation, and a realistic installation timeline from award to full operational capability. Vendors must provide past MDU experience (minimum two comparable 400‑room projects), CMMC compliance level, administrative data (CAGE, UEI, NAICS 517111, small‑business status), and a rough order‑of‑magnitude cost estimate for both leveraging existing wiring and a full “rip‑and‑replace” scenario, including baseline per‑room pricing and sample upgrade tiers. Responses are to be submitted via email to Tammie Umsted and Simone Kelly‑Stofik by 13 April 2026, 3:00 pm PST, with the RFI title in the subject line.
