While no specific contract value or budget range is disclosed in the solicitation notice, the requirement involves maintaining two 1G Ethernet circuits on an ongoing basis. The services are tied to specific circuit identifiers that have been in place since 2020, indicating this may be a continuation or renewal of existing connectivity services.
