About this file
This statement of need requests a 1000 Mbps symmetrical fiber dedicated internet access service for the USGS New England Water Science Center in East Hartford, Connecticut. The Water Science Center requires a reliable, high-bandwidth network connection to provide secure and efficient access to the WAN for mission essential functions such as data processing, collaboration, and supporting the work of the Water Mission Area. The proposed internet access solution would also provide the service connection for a planned ESN LAN-to-LAN service and sufficient bandwidth to support science activities into the foreseeable future. The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation from the Department of the Interior US Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants with solicitation number 140G0124Q0023 for an internet service.

STATEMENT OF NEED
The USGS New England Water Science Center (WSC) in East Hartford, CT, supporting the Water Mission Area (WMA) requests 1000 Mbps symmetrical fiber dedicated internet access service from a commercial telecommunications provider.
WSC employees require fast and reliable access to the internet to conduct essential business and science activities in support of the mission of the USGS Water Mission Area (WMA). The WSC continues to grow in program and staff and has experienced poor network performance due to the increased demand of data processing and collaboration platforms. A reliable network connection with sufficient bandwidth is needed to provide secure and efficient access to the WAN to conduct mission essential functions.
The proposed internet access solution would provide the service connection for a planned ESN LAN-to-LAN (L2L) service at this site, and provides the bandwidth needed now and into the foreseeable future to support the science activities conducted in the WSC. Additionally, the solution aligns with elements of DOI’s Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) initiative to increase efficiencies in network architecture.
