How to bid on Nellis Air Force Base Dormitories Wi-Fi Service for the Air Force
What the Air Force is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Air Force is conducting market research for Wi-Fi services at the dormitories located on Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is a Request for Information (RFI), not a formal solicitation for bids. The Air Force wants to understand the capabilities of companies that can provide these services.
Responding to an RFI allows your company to provide input that can shape a future solicitation. It's an opportunity to demonstrate your expertise and potentially influence the requirements before a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) is issued.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The deadline for submitting your response to this RFI is August 8, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET. Responses must be submitted electronically via email. Earlier submissions are encouraged.
Since this is an RFI, no contract will be awarded at this deadline. The Air Force will use the information gathered to conduct market research, identify potential sources, and determine if a future solicitation should be set aside for specific business categories.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for professional services firms with experience in providing Wi-Fi services, particularly for large residential or institutional settings. The Air Force is interested in gathering information from qualified, experienced, and interested vendors.
Small businesses are encouraged to respond. You will need to identify your company's size status and any small business program certifications, such as SBA Certified 8(a), Service Disabled Veteran Owned, or HubZone.
How to respond to this RFI
To respond, you need to review the draft documentation, including the draft Statement of Work (SOW), which is part of the original notice. Your response should include your firm's name, address, phone number, CAGE code, and identify if your company is a large or small business, including any small business program certifications.
You also need to state the appropriate number of calendar days required to respond to an RFP, the timeframe needed from award to beginning new service, and an estimated monthly cost for the services described. Any other comments or feedback on how to improve the requirement are highly encouraged. Send your electronic response via email to SSgt Riley Finn at [email protected]. Ensure the RFI number FA486126Q8700 is in the email subject line.
Practical tips for a competitive RFI response
When preparing your RFI response, focus on providing clear and concise information. Directly address all the questions posed in the RFI. Your estimated monthly cost should be realistic and reflect your understanding of the draft Statement of Work.
Use the opportunity to provide constructive feedback on the draft SOW. This shows your expertise and engagement. If you have questions about the RFI, the government may post your questions and their responses publicly, without disclosing your firm's name, to ensure transparency for all interested firms.
