NOI Attachment A.xlsx

This file is an attachment listing specific dark fiber circuits and optional wavelength services required for the HHS/NIH Wide Area Network (WAN) optical services procurement. The appendix details five pending new dark fiber circuits and two pending transfer circuits connecting various NIH locations, primarily between the Washington D.C./Maryland area (including 9000 Rockville Pike in Bethesda, MD) and remote sites in Arizona and Virginia. Each circuit represents a single dark fiber pair connection between specified origin and destination points.

The optional items section outlines Year 4a pricing (7-month term) for dark fiber circuits categorized by route mileage ranges from 0-1.99 miles through 35-49.99 miles, each with a quantity of one and monthly recurring charge (MRC) pricing structure for one-year terms. Additionally, the appendix includes optional wavelength services, specifically 10 gigabit Ethernet long-haul point-to-point wavelengths for non-data center to non-data center sub-regional connectivity. These optional circuit offerings accommodate anticipated future project requirements and provide the NIH with flexible capacity expansion capability while maintaining service continuity and redundancy across multiple research facilities.
