Description
The United States Air Force intends to award a sole-source contract to Lumen Technologies Government Solutions, Inc. for long-distance and local telecommunication services at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana. The current contract with Lumen is expiring, and the Air Force wants to consolidate both local and long-distance requirements under a single contract. The new contract will have a five-year ordering period from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2031.
The key aspects of this opportunity include:
• The contract will provide long-distance and local telecommunication services to Malmstrom Air Force Base.
• The incumbent provider, Lumen, already has infrastructure and equipment established on premises.
• A continuation with Lumen would avoid new construction, equipment changes, and reconfiguration of the installation's Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Session Border Controllers.
• The contract will support nearly 6,000 active telephone lines.
• Responses to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition for this requirement would be advantageous to the Government.
