About this file

This is a Request for Quote (RFQ) for facilities access services for a T1 data circuit serving the Bureau of Reclamation's Central Valley Operations Office at Trinity Dam, California.

The requirement is for recurring facilities access service for a 1.544 Mbps T1 data circuit that provides telecommunications connectivity between Trinity Dam and Keswick Dam to support the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system controlling dam operations. This is a firm-fixed-price service contract with a base year running from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, followed by four one-year option periods extending through August 31, 2031. The circuit is currently provided by TDS/Happy Valley Telephone, the Local Exchange Carrier, and this procurement is characterized as a sole-source requirement to that vendor. The price schedule requires quoters to submit monthly costs for channel termination (DS-1 1.544 Mbps), channel mileage, channel mileage termination, and intrastate surcharge components for each 12-month period. Quotes must be submitted electronically by 3:00 PM PDT on July 21, 2026, to the contracting officer. Award will be made to the responsible quoter whose price best meets requirements. The solicitation is set aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB) and incorporates standard FAR clauses covering security requirements, contractor compliance with various prohibitions, electronic invoicing through the Department of Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform, and extensive cybersecurity and information protection protocols appropriate to federal facility operations.
