The Maine Army National Guard needs a contractor to install a cellular repeater system at Camp Chamberlain.

Key Details

  • What exactly do they need? The Maine Army National Guard needs a contractor to install a turnkey, multi-carrier in-building cellular enhancement/repeater solution at Joint Force Headquarters, Camp Chamberlain, located in Augusta, Maine. The current system has failed, resulting in inadequate cellular coverage. The objective of this acquisition is to procure a fully functional, Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliant Distributed Antenna System (DAS) headend/controller solution that integrates with the building's existing passive infrastructure. The final solution must resolve current service failures and provide robust, reliable 5G and LTE cellular coverage for Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile across an area of approximately 100,000 square feet.
  • What's the contract structure and timeline? This is a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) requirement with a one-year system warranty. Award will be made based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures.
