Y--CA-HOPPER MTN NWR-COMMS TOWER

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is conducting market research through a Sources‑Sought Synopsis (Solicitation 140FC326Q0022) to identify qualified firms for the design, delivery, testing, and installation of a radio‑communications tower at Hopper Mountain National Wildlife Refuge, Ventura County, CA. The effort will provide a 20‑ft Bay Micro Shelter tower with a radio repeater to serve as the primary emergency communications system for refuge staff in an area with limited or no cellular service. The tower must be supplied and installed by the manufacturer in compliance with R56 standards, and the contract will be a Firm‑Fixed‑Price award with a 90‑day performance period from notice to proceed. Respondents must submit a maximum five‑page response by 5:00 PM PST on 4 May 2026, including company name and address, point‑of‑contact information, CAGE/UEI, interest as prime, subcontractor or joint venture, business size and socioeconomic status (Small Business, 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, EDWOSB, SDVOSB), capability narrative, and, if applicable, joint‑venture details. Firms must also provide up to three recent (within five years) similar communications‑tower projects, demonstrating experience with remote, steep‑road access sites and emergency‑communication requirements. The opportunity (NAICS 517810, PSC Y1PZ) is for market research only; no solicitation or award is currently available, and no costs will be reimbursed. The USFWS will use the responses to assess whether the requirement can be set‑aside for small‑business or other socioeconomic programs. All submissions are to be sent electronically to Contracting Officer Cindy Salazar (cindy_salazar@ios.doi.gov). Monitoring SAM.gov for a future solicitation, expected to post around 10 May 2026, is the responsibility of potential offerors.
