High Speed Internet upgrade



The U.S. Geological Survey, Astrogeology Science Center (Flagstaff, AZ) has a requirement for high-speed internet service. In 2013 a contract was awarded for a fixed wireless solution and the term for this solution is ending. We are seeking two separate options: 1) Design, provide, and install a dedicated fiber optic high-speed internet solution and provide at minimum 300 Mb/sec dedicated service. 2) Re-use existing fixed wireless solution for high-speed internet and provide at minimum 300 Mb/sec dedicated service for three plus years. The initial period of performance will be for 1 year with the option to extend through years 2-5.



The Statement of Objectives and additional specifications will be identified in the forthcoming solicitation. In summary, however, the USGS will select a contractor capable of meeting or exceeding all stated specifications with the lowest total cost of ownership over a five (5) year period, considering all up-front costs, anticipated monthly service costs, and anticipated warranty/support costs. Prospective contractors will be invited to submit quotations for monthly service that contemplate long-term commitments as well as those that are month-to-month, and the USGS will select whichever appears more advantageous.
