How to bid on GASNTi2 BLOCK 1 Nationwide Material Procurement (Electrical & Telecommunications) for the DEPT of the Army

What the Army is buying and why it matters

The Department of the Army is seeking wireless communications infrastructure materials, conduit, grounding equipment, and related electrical hardware for the SC GASNTi2 BLOCK 1 project. This is a nationwide material procurement that requires delivery to 11 military locations across the United States.

A key requirement is that all materials must be delivered palletized in a new or highly refurbished ISO shipping container. The ownership of this container will permanently transfer to the government upon delivery. Vendors must include the cost of the container and initial freight within the unit prices of the materials themselves; no separate container charges will be accepted.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

The solicitation was published on September 03, 2026. All quotes must be submitted via email to the Government Points of Contact (POCs) by September 18, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. Late submissions will not be evaluated.

The Army plans to award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract to the responsible offeror whose quote is determined to be the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). This means your quote must first meet all technical requirements to be considered, and then the lowest price among technically acceptable offers will be selected.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for businesses that can supply wireless communications infrastructure materials, electrical hardware, and related components. Firms with experience in providing technology-related materials, especially those involving specific product specifications and delivery logistics to multiple government sites, will find this relevant.

Vendors must be capable of supplying materials that strictly conform to the provided Statement of Work (SOW) and List of Materials (LOM), or approved "or-equal" equivalents. The requirement for providing and transferring ownership of an ISO shipping container also means firms must have access to or relationships with container suppliers and freight services.

How to respond to this solicitation

To access the full solicitation details and documents, you will need to click the "View original source" link. If the first click takes you to a homepage, click the link again to go directly to the bid. You may need a free account on the portal to view all documents, though this is not always required.

Your quote package must be submitted via email to the primary Government POCs. It needs to include a Technical Quote, a Price Quote, and Representations and Certifications. The Technical Quote must have a completed bill of materials pricing sheet, detailed product specification sheets for any "or-equal" items with a side-by-side comparison, and a conformance statement regarding the ISO shipping container and palletized delivery. The Price Quote must be a firm-fixed-price (FFP) quote with unit and extended pricing, ensuring the ISO container cost is amortized into material prices. For Representations and Certifications, you can submit a completed FAR 52.212-3 or confirm an active and up-to-date SAM.gov registration.

Tips for a competitive response

Carefully review the List of Materials (LOM) and Statement of Work (SOW) to ensure your proposed products meet all specifications. If proposing "or-equal" items, provide comprehensive technical data sheets and a clear comparison chart demonstrating 100% equivalency to all salient characteristics. Technical acceptability is a pass/fail factor, so any deviation could lead to disqualification.

Pay close attention to the pricing structure. The requirement to integrate the ISO shipping container cost, including initial freight, into the unit prices of the materials is critical. Ensure your pricing is accurate and competitive, as award will be made to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer. Double-check all calculations before submission.

Confirm your System for Award Management (SAM.gov) registration is active and up-to-date, or complete the FAR 52.212-3 form. This is a mandatory administrative requirement. Also, ensure your submission is sent to the correct email addresses and arrives before the September 18, 2026, 5:00 PM ET deadline, as late submissions will not be evaluated.
