The anticipated NAICS code is 334220, Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing; small business size standard is 1,250 employees. DESCRIPTION OF NEED The U.S. Government requires a solution to upgrade a Neutral Host Distributed Antenna System (DAS) from a 3G system to a high function 4G/5G system (using Cell Phone Boosters or replacing the existing system) in support of the U.S. Army Human Resources Command (HRC) located at Fort Knox, Kentucky that is designed to provide excellent RF coverage for an area that is approximately 940,000 square feet for six buildings. The DAS must support several wireless services that operate at different carrier frequency and use different signal protocols. The system should allow for a high degree of flexibility, allowing use of the same set of equipment for a wide variety of different installations, so the system can grow on demand without the need of adding more components to the infrastructure.� BACKGROUND:� HRC has an existing DAS system/Cellphone Booster System [Requiring Activity is uncertain] that was installed in 2010 which provides cellular signal propagation in six buildings within the complex, which is approximately 940,000 square feet.� The system is at capacity and outdated, currently only supporting 3G service.� An overall upgrade is required to bring the technology up to current standards and provide expansion capabilities.� The estimated number of Government-issued and employee-owned devices is 3500. ANTICIPATED SYSTEM DESIGN: ����������� AT&T: 700/1900/2100 MHz ����������� Verizon: 700/1900/2100 MHz ����������� T-Mobile: 1900/2100 MHz ����������� Sprint: 800/1900/2600 MHz ����������� Post for first responders: 450 MHz (This will be checked.) MINIMAL SYSTEM DESIGN GOAL PARAMETERS: LTE 700/800 MHz at -90dBm RSRP or better LTE 1900 MHz at -95dBm RSRP or better LTE 2100 MHz at -95dBm RSRP or better LTE 2600 MHz at -97dBm RSRP or better UMTS 1900 MHz at -90dBm RSCP or better LMR 450 MHz at -95dBm RSSI or better We encourage all small businesses, in all socioeconomic categories (including, 8(a) Business Development Program, Small Disadvantage Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women- Owned Small Business concerns), to identify their capabilities in meeting the requirement at a fair market price. A Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) price and duration of performance estimate is requested based on the currently available information presented. The ROM price should include the price for new originally-manufactured equipment, ancillary materials [bill or materials], installation, professional services, freight and the 1st year of maintenance and monitoring. A ROM price for the out years for Maintenance and Monitoring is also very beneficial. The ROM will be used to support decision-making - should price. The pricing information from industry allows the government to plan better.� Also, a parametric estimate is acceptable, such as price per square foot. Attachments: Attachment 1 is the description of the Physical Areas & Estimated Square Footage. Attachment 2 is the Response Form that must be returned with the ROM and a brief 6-page capabilities statement. Attachment 3 is the �as built� titled Ft Knox Bldg 6634 As Built.pdf �� In order to allow for a written response prior to response due date. �THE GOVERNMENT INTENDS TO POST ALL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FROM THE INDUSTRY DAY VISIT NO LATER THAN�24 MARCH 2020. In response to this request for information, please email Response Form, and the ROM by�3 April�2020, 08:00a.m. ET to Contract Specialist, Dremayne T. Doyle at dremayne.t.doyle.civ@mail.mil and Contracting Officer Daniel J. Hereford at Daniel.j.hereford.civ@mail.mil. **Response date extended due to unforeseen circumstances.**
