About this opportunity
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for Ciena fiber optic equipment maintenance and support services at the Air and Marine Operations Center (AMOC) in Riverside, CA. The procurement is specifically for service and maintenance on Ciena 6500 and 5170 Fiber Transport Equipment, with an estimated value of $62,000. CBP determined that only vendors with specialized knowledge of these specific Ciena systems can effectively maintain the network architecture and prevent potential interoperability issues. The government intends to award the contract directly to Carahsoft Technology Corporation due to their institutional knowledge of current AMOC support operations. The contract period of performance is from January 26, 2025 through January 25, 2026, and will include 24/7/365 remote technical support, 30-day standard hardware repair, 4-hour managed spares replacement, and 4-hour engineer dispatch. The contract (70B02C25P00000057) was awarded on January 23, 2025, with the justification that these services are essential for maintaining critical voice and data circuits vital to AMOC's mission.
Notice text
The U.S Customs and Border Protection intends to issue a Request for Quote (RFQ) for contract award on a limited competition basis for service and maintenance on Ciena fiber optic transport equipment. Service and maintenance is required at the Air and Marine Operations Center (AMOC) in Riverside, CA. Only vendors capable of providing the unique and highly specialized knowledge of the Ciena 6500 & 5170 Fiber Transport Equipment are qualified to work on this equipment. CBP network architecture, maintenance platforms, and configuration systems will work properly with this fiber transport equipment. The use of a non-Ciena reseller could result in interoperability, compatibility, or interface issues that would prevent the equipment from being able to meet the requirement of our Operations Center.
The intended contract is for annual renewal and continuous follow-on support of the current vehicle in place. The anticipated period of performance will be from January 26, 2025 through January 25, 2026. While CBP recognizes the Ciena-reseller community, it is imperative at this time that this effort be supported by the contractor that possesses institutional knowledge of the current support being provided to the AMOC. Therefore, the Government intends to solicit and negotiate directly with Carahsoft Software Corporation.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. If any interested party believes it can meet the above requirement, it may submit a statement of capabilities. The statement of capabilities must be submitted in writing and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow the Government to determine if the party can support the requirement at the time of future solicitation. A determination not to compete this action based upon responses received is in the sole discretion of the Government.
If any contractors feel they can meet the requirements, please contact the Contract Specialist by email at nykia.warren@cbp.dhs.gov by the response date and time listed with this notice. You must submit a capabilities statement displaying your ability to meet the requirements.
Awarded contract 70B02C25P00000057 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2025-01-23.
