Updated 09/05/2023

1.0 Background:

The Bureau of Reclamation Enterprise LAN/WAN Office is requiring brand name Satellite Internet Services from Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (“Starlink”, “SpaceX”) to provide network connectivity to all Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) sites and offices. This network connectivity is provided via various telecommunication mediums. Remote locations, due to their geographic and austere locations are not afforded the same telecommunication mediums as BOR sites that are closer to developed areas. As such, BOR remote sites rely on Commercial Satellite Internet network services to provide connectivity to BOR networks.

2.0 Scope:

The contractor shall provide all Commercial Satellite Network Services and equipment as needed at the Bureau of Reclamation Enterprise LAN/WAN Office as well as to all Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) sites and offices as listed:

To meet BOR network service delivery requirements Commercial Satellite Network Service providers must meet the following tasks:

Task 1: Commercial Satellite Network Service provider must operate their satellite constellation in a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to minimize signal path from ground station to satellite to ensure minimal network signal latency.

Task 2: Commercial Satellite Network Service provider satellite constellation shall be comprised of a multiple satellite formation with meshed satellite to satellite, and satellite to ground station network links to provide continuous and seamless network connectivity.

Task 3: Commercial Satellite Network Service provider shall provide a meshed terrestrial network of multiple ground stations to provide shortest network signal path.

Task 4: Commercial Satellite Network Service provider shall provide 99% Service Availability;

less than 99ms Latency, minimum of 50mbps Download, and a minimum of 20mbps Upload at each serviced BOR site.

Task 5: Commercial Satellite Network Service provider shall provide BOR user installed Satellite Receive/Transmit Terminal kit (equipment), including router, and Ethernet adapter.

Task 6: Commercial Satellite Network Service provider shall provide High-speed, low-latency broadband internet on a monthly fee basis.

Task 7: Commercial Satellite Network Service provider shall provide Monthly data limitations no less then 1Tbps.
