Anixter, CSC Supply, Anicom (still around?), Graybar...these are (were) common suppliers in my day. You need to know what type of "inside fiber" though. Plenum? Non-plenum? What type of non-plenum? Will it require innerduct (also plenum or non-plenum)? Conduit (EMT, rigid, etc.?). Conduit construction for fiber is different than for electrical. For example, you use sweeps instead of elbows and you'd need to install pull boxes after every two 90's. (At each pull box you should coil some slack too.)
Chris, do you know what you are doing? If not, don't bid it. Screw it up and it will cost you big time. Fiber is tough from a tensile perspective, but you have to know how to pull and bend it. Is this one long run? That's over a mile. If that is the case and this is all inside then you are doing some massive warehouse and/or plant facility. If that's the case you likely have conduit issues, among many, many other thing. Also, I am assuming you do know how to terminate and test it? I could list tons of questions but I don't know what your skill set is. But a simple sourcing question does not give warm and fuzzy that you know what you are doing, so you need to be careful.
