- SUBJECT: �Request for Information- Vandenberg Mobile Internet Services 1.� THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes- it does not constitute a Request for Proposals (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This request for information does not commit the Government to contact for any supply or service whatsoever. Furthermore, the Government is not at this time seeking quotations and will not accept unsolicited offers. Interested vendors are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party�s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the BetaSAM.gov website: https:// beta.sam.gov. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor these sites for additional information pertaining to this requirement. ����������� FAR 52.215-3 Request for Information of Solicitation for Planning Purposes (Oct 1997) a. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this RFI. b. Although �proposal� and �offeror� are used in this Request for Information, your response will be treated as information only. It shall not be used as a proposal. c. This�Request for Information�is issued for the purpose of market research and share information with industry. �������� 2.� The 30th Contracting Squadron (30 CONS) is conducting market research to identify potential contractors that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to provide mobile �internet services to Vandenberg AFB.�The NAICS code for this effort is 517410��Satellite Telecommunications��and the PSC is DG11��It and Telecom- Network Services Telecom Access Services�. 3.�Background:� Vandenberg AFB encompasses over 98,000 acres, with 35 miles of coastline stretching along the Pacific Ocean.� Although Vandenberg has an extremely robust fiber optic network, it would be extremely cost prohibitive to provide fiber to every required location.� This significantly restrictions our ability to provide high speed Internet capability to every required location.� Additionally, contingency operations could necessitate temporary Internet capability at any location at any time (e.g. earthquakes, fire, rocket launch malfunction, etc.). 4. Objective:� Vandenberg AFB seeks to establish a capability to provide portable high-speed commercial Internet access at no less than 100Mbps download and 20Mbps upload speeds with no data caps.� This capability must be transportable, able to be set up by one person in less than 10-mins of reaching its deployed location, and able to establish a quality/sustainable Internet connection anywhere within the boundary of Vandenberg AFB. 5.� The information that is received from this RFI will be used to understand industry interest and ability to provide�mobile internet services�at Vandenberg AFB. Information received will not be shared with other potential offerors. Please send any information, questions or concerns to william.bumpass.1@us.af.mil & Sonia.Wasserman@us.af.mil. 6. This posting will be updated with status and additional information as it becomes available to the government.
