ABMC Residential Internet Access Feasibility for Overseas Superintendent Quarters

Background
The American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) is responsible for maintaining 26 permanent American military cemeteries and 31 memorials across 17 countries. Among these sites, 23 include ABMC-owned residential quarters for the American Superintendents. These residences often face challenges in receiving Wi-Fi signals due to construction materials and are located in areas with limited broadband or cellular service.

The goal of this Request for Information (RFI) is to identify vendors capable of providing reliable, high-speed broadband Internet access to these residential quarters, ensuring that American employees serving overseas have essential communication infrastructure comparable to standard private homes.

Work Details
Vendors are invited to propose solutions for extending broadband infrastructure to the residences at overseas cemeteries. The key requirements include:
1. Minimum Service Speed: 100 Mbps download / 10 Mbps upload.
2. One-Time Installation Cost (to the residence): ≤ $250 (to be paid by the resident).
3. Ongoing Monthly Service Cost: ≤ $75/month (to be paid by the resident).
4. WAN Termination: Service must reach the residence’s modem or ONT.
5. Support for Individual Subscriptions: Service should support individual subscription and billing directly with the ABMC Superintendent (private resident).
6. Service Location Types: Remote or semi-rural cemetery campuses, often secured federal property with controlled access.

Place of Performance
The services will be performed at various overseas cemetery locations managed by ABMC across 17 countries.
