Commercial Ethernet Gateway (CEG) - Continental United States (CONUS) Regions 3-7

The Defense Information Systems Agency seeks to establish Ethernet gateways in regions 3 through 7 of the continental United States to connect commercial service provider networks to the Department of Defense Information Network. Contractors must provide Ethernet lines known as E-Lines from their networks to gateway and customer access sites listed in attachments, meeting performance standards for 99.9% availability, maximum frame loss and latency. Comments on the draft performance work statement are due by February 8, 2021 to inform the forthcoming request for proposal.

There is no set-aside designation. The primary NAICS code is 517110 and PSC code D304. Incumbent contractors may include large telecommunications firms that currently support DISA networks. Individual task orders will have varying values depending on the number and bandwidth of circuits required, with the total contract ceiling estimated in the hundreds of millions over the nine-year base and option periods. Contractors must complete gateway site installations within 30 days of task order award and have the full network operational within 37 days, then continue installing additional access sites on an IDIQ basis.
