What this build needs from crews
- Placement. The state files don't split buried from aerial miles for NoaNet, so expect both underground and aerial work.
- Splicing and drops. Every one of the 22,743 locations needs a drop and a splice at the end (fiber splicing).
How subs usually get on a BEAD build
- Start with NoaNet's own page for suppliers and contractors: NoaNet bidding opportunities.
- Find out who is building. Providers often hand construction to a prime or an engineering and construction firm, and those firms hire the subs.
- Get your paperwork ready before you call: certificate of insurance, W-9, safety program, and proof you can do the footage.
- Ask what the state's BEAD rules mean for subs. Workforce, safety and reporting requirements vary by state and are often passed down.
- Be findable. List your crew with the states and trades you cover, and watch fiber work on the board.
