About this opportunity
The Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has published a Special Notice for the continued lease of private cages with circuit-based power at the Equinix Data Center in Ashburn, Virginia. This requirement is to maintain the DEA's current cloud infrastructure, which is hosted at the Equinix facility and connected to the DEA's Sterling Park Technology Center via leased dark fiber.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform contractors of the DEA's intent to sole source this requirement to Equinix, Inc. under the Federal Supply Schedule. The DEA has a requirement for the current cloud infrastructure to be hosted within approximately 8 kilometers of the Sterling Park Technology Center due to the need for high-speed connectivity. Additionally, the DEA requires a separate disaster recovery site on a different power grid. Equinix is the only known facility that can meet these technical and geographic requirements. The total estimated value, including options, is undisclosed, and the period of performance is 6 months with one 6-month option period.
Notice text
Notice of Intent to Sole Source IAW 6.302-1
This requirement is for the continued lease of already installed private cage with circuit based power at Equinix Data Centers with cross connects that was previously solicited, competed, and awarded to Equinix, Inc. under Contract 15DDHQ23F00000088. The Government has a requirement to maintain the current DEA Cloud infrastructure in a colocation facility with a high speed connection to the DEA facility in Sterling, VA. The current system is hosted at the Equinix facility in Ashburn, Virginia and is connected to the DEA Sterling Park Technology Center (SPTC) via a leased dark fiber connection. DEA currently holds a contract with the provider of the dark fiber connection. The location Notice of this facility was required to be within approximately 8 kilometers of the DEA SPTC facility due to the cost of establishing the dark fiber link to provide the required high-speed connection. Additionally, the Government has a requirement to establish a second co-location facility to support Disaster Recovery (DR) capabilities. A separate DR site will provide alternate duplicate systems that can be brought online in the event that primary systems are compromised. The DR facility must reside in a different power grid from the current systems and provide efficient and dependable communications paths between the two facilities.
