RFI Responses.docx

This file contains RFI (Request for Information) responses related to a Commercial Internet Service solicitation for the Connecticut Air National Guard (CTANG). The document addresses two specific technical questions: confirming that peering with another carrier for last-mile access is acceptable (rather than requiring end-to-end carrier service), and clarifying that only one static IP address is required for the service.

The responses indicate the government's flexibility regarding network architecture and minimal IP address requirements for this procurement. These clarifications are relevant to the broader RFQ (W50SC226QA002) for Commercial Internet Service, which is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside awarded on a Firm-Fixed Price basis for one base year plus four option years. Questions regarding this solicitation were due by 5:00 p.m. EDT on 12 June 2026 (or 8 June 2026 per an alternative deadline listed), with quotes due by 5:00 p.m. EDT on 15 June 2026 (or 12 June 2026 per alternative language). Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose offer is most advantageous to the government based primarily on price and past performance.
