State seeks engineer to review Alaska broadband grant projects

The Alaska Broadband Office is accepting proposals through May 22, 2026, for a professional engineer to verify that broadband grant recipients are building networks as promised.

The contractor will review project reports from companies receiving state broadband grants and check their progress against approved network designs. The state will not consider cost when evaluating proposals.

Proposals must arrive by 5 p.m. Alaska time on May 22, 2026. Late submissions will be rejected.

A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on May 11, 2026, via Microsoft Teams. Anyone wanting to attend must contact procurement officer an unnamed participant by 5 p.m. on May 7, 2026, to receive meeting information. If no one registers by that deadline, the conference will be canceled.

The Division of Administrative Services is handling the procurement for the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development.

Anyone who found this solicitation on the state's online public notice website must register with Sanchez to receive updates and amendments. Failure to register could result in rejection of a proposal.
