MS CRTC Base Television Service

The United States Air Force is seeking a contractor to supply and install a fully operational head-end unit to enable television service distribution to all locations on the MS CRTC Base. The head-end unit will utilize the existing Blonder Tongue HDE-8C-QAM to provide enhanced modulation capabilities for optimal compatibility with legacy television receivers. The contractor will be responsible for furnishing the Base Communications section with the channel lineup, guaranteeing 24/7 service availability, and implementing integration of local over-the-air (OTA) channels into the base distribution platform. • The contractor must provide all necessary equipment, labor, and transportation for the installation. • The government will be responsible for maintaining the television signal at individual drops beyond the television demarcation point. • The contractor must implement a failover mechanism in the event of primary service provider outages. • The channel lineup is subject to the sole discretion of the MS CRTC Communications Office, and all substitutions require prior written authorization.
