How to bid on Kenwood Radio Installation for Mass Notification System at Niagara Falls ARS
What the Air Force is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Air Force needs a contractor to supply and install a Kenwood JF12 radio for the Mass Notification System (MNS) at Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station, New York. This project also involves moving an existing MNS server to an alternate command post and ensuring the entire system is tested by Federal Signal.
This is an opportunity for technology and installation firms to work with the Air Force on critical communication infrastructure. The contract will be firm-fixed-price, meaning the payment amount is set at the start, which can be beneficial for budgeting and planning.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The solicitation was published on September 11, 2026. All responses are due by September 23, 2026, at 1:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).
At the deadline, the Air Force will stop accepting quotes. Your submission must include a firm-fixed-price quote, a technical capability statement detailing proposed equipment, and a delivery schedule. Late submissions will not be considered.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms with expertise in radio system installation, mass notification systems, and related technology services. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 238210, which covers electrical contractors and other wiring installation contractors.
Vendors must have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and ensure that NAICS code 238210 is listed on their SAM record to be eligible for award. This acquisition is not set aside for small businesses.
How to respond to this solicitation
To respond, you must email your submission to Danielle Poole, Contract Specialist, at [email protected]. The email subject line should be "RFQ FA667026Q0017".
Your submission must include two main parts: a quote with a technical capability statement (including technical specifications of all proposed equipment) and a delivery schedule. Only firm-fixed-price offers will be evaluated. Review Attachment 1, the Statement of Need, for full requirement details.
Tips for a competitive response
Ensure your technical capability statement clearly demonstrates how your proposed equipment meets or exceeds the requirements in the Statement of Need. Provide sufficient technical information for the government to make a clear determination.
Since award will be made to the lowest-priced proposal with acceptable technical capability, focus on submitting a competitive firm-fixed-price quote while still meeting all technical requirements. Double-check your SAM registration to confirm it is active and includes the correct NAICS code. All questions must be submitted in writing to the contracting office; phone calls will not be accepted.
