Statement of Work for

Dark Fiber connections for IHS in Rockville Maryland

1. BACKGROUND

The mission of the Indian Health Service (IHS), Office of Information Technology (OIT) is to provide a highly reliable and efficient health information system to support the delivery of health care to the American Indian and Alaska Natives that IHS serves.

All information technology (IT) infrastructure for the IHS in Rockville MD is located at the headquarters facility data center located on the 3rd floor at 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville MD 20857. Legal support for the mission is provided by the Office of General Council (OGC) staff located on the 3rd floor at 12501 Ardennes Ave, Rockville MD 20850. The Indian Health Service requires a point-to-point fiber pair between these two locations to facilitate OGC staff IT connectivity to all HHS and IHS information technology resources and services. Existing connectivity currently interfaces with IHS managed switches at both locations.

2. SCOPE

The Contractor shall provide only certified fiber optic technicians to install a dedicated dark fiber pair of Single Mode Fiber (SMF-28) between the 3rd floor network closet located at 12501 Ardennes Ave, Rockville MD and the IHS data center located on the 3rd floor room 3E-03 at 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville MD. The handoff must be provided in a fiber distribution panel that meets EIA/TIA 568A standard Subscriber Connector (SC) at both locations. This fiber is noted as dark fiber because it will be lighted with existing IHS equipment and SC patch cables at both locations. The contractor must provide a test report to indicate the fiber optics are installed to industry standards.

Connectivity is required on or before August 31, 2020.

3. OBJECTIVE
