What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Department of Defense, specifically Dyess Air Force Base in Texas, is seeking internet services for unaccompanied housing dormitories. This includes Wi-Fi for approximately 750 individual rooms and 36 common areas across 12 facilities.
This contract is important for vendors in the technology sector, particularly those specializing in internet service provision for large residential or institutional settings. It offers a stable, long-term opportunity with a base year and four potential option years, starting September 15, 2026.

This Request for Quotation (RFQ) was published on July 30, 2026. The deadline for submitting your quote is August 31, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET. All quotes must be submitted by this time.
The government intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract based on the submitted quotes. While the government reserves the right to conduct discussions, it may award without them if it determines it is in their best interest. The anticipated start date for the base year is September 15, 2026.
Who this opportunity suits
