RFI - VA Locations v.2.xlsx

This is a Request for Information (RFI) spreadsheet containing VA facility location data and tier classifications for a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite equipment and services procurement. The VA Office of Information Technology (OIT), Cybersecurity and Communications Services (CCS) division is seeking commercially available LEO satellite equipment and services to provide internet connectivity across more than 2,200 VA sites nationwide and internationally.

The RFI organizes facilities into four service tier categories based on estimated data capacity requirements: Tier 1 locations (5TB capacity) include small clinics, Regional Benefits Offices, and administrative offices; Tier 2 locations (50TB capacity) include Vet Centers and medium clinics; Tier 3 locations (100TB capacity) include CBOCs and larger regional offices; and Tier 4 locations (greater than 100TB capacity) include major Medical Centers and VACO headquarters facilities. The spreadsheet provides comprehensive location data for each facility including site name, latitude/longitude coordinates, mailing address, facility type (VHA, VACO, NCA, OU, RH, AD, OIG, SC, WH, OP, and RO designations), and tier classification. Facilities span all 50 states plus territories and international locations such as the Philippines, Guam, and American Samoa. The RFI indicates that respondents should address equipment costs, monthly service costs, proposed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) options, recommended upload/download speeds, and data rollover or pooling capabilities for the proposed LEO satellite solutions across these geographically dispersed VA locations.
