    The document, "Building List for CAP Building WI-FI Services," outlines a contract requirement for providing Wi-Fi/internet services to 420 rooms across five buildings. This likely represents a government Request for Proposal (RFP) or a similar solicitation for services. The document details each of the five buildings by number, address, and square footage, indicating the scope of the project. The buildings are located at 1272, 1274, and 1276 Old Ironsides, and 431 and 463 12th Armored Division Ave, with square footages ranging from 42,130 to 44,543 sq. ft. This comprehensive list provides essential information for potential contractors to assess the scale and requirements of the Wi-Fi service provision.
    The government seeks proposals for primary internet access via 5G wireless routers for 420 rooms across five buildings, with 84 rooms per building. Each building will have 105 cellular 5G routers, equating to one router for every four rooms, providing a minimum speed of 5Mbps per user. The solution requires simple internet access points with separate SSIDs for each unit, and no centralized router management, access logging, content filtering, or user tracking. The devices, which the government intends to own, must be shipped, and no structural modifications or on-site installation by the contractor are permitted. This is not a new requirement, and the previous contract number was W9124D23P0192. The contractor is responsible for supplying all necessary devices.

Key changes include adding a Statement of Work (SOW) and a Questions & Answers document, and updating instructions for offerors regarding question submission, quote requirements, and award basis. The modification emphasizes that all terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain in effect, and offerors must acknowledge the amendment for their offers to be considered.
