Notice to Sole Source - Fiber To Desk (F2D)

Background
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts, intends to award a sole-source purchase order to Northern Electric Inc. for the completion of partially finished Fiber-to-the-Desk (F2D) cabling and related installations.

Work Details
The contractor will be responsible for completing Fiber-to-the-Desk (F2D) cabling, installing four server racks, and setting up printer drops specifically for Building 1614 Phase 2.

The work involves electrical and electronic equipment components installation as outlined under Product Service Code N059.

Period of Performance
The specific period of performance is not detailed in the solicitation; however, it is implied that the work will be completed promptly to avoid delays in facility activation.

Place of Performance
Hanscom AFB MA 01731 UNITED STATES

Bidder Requirements
Northern Electric Inc. is identified as the sole source for this contract due to their status as the incumbent contractor on a previous contract (FA2835-24-P-0014), which provides them with necessary security access and familiarity with existing conduit systems. Competing this requirement would result in unacceptable delays.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This notice appears to have a confirmed incumbent, as Northern Electric is identified as the sole-source awardee based on its prior contract FA2835-24-P-0014 (value $768,500; 08/16/24–12/31/25). That prior work involved installation, termination, and testing of fiber optic cabling for the renovation area of Phase 2 of Building 1614, including routing from server rooms to points of connection. The current requirement to complete partially finished Fiber-to-the-Desk (F2D) cabling and related installations for Building 1614 Phase 2 is consistent with a continuation of the same facility-specific fiber cabling effort.
