About this opportunity
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a Special Notice regarding a Limited Sources Justification for Zero-Hop Connectivity Data Center Services. This notice pertains to a noncompetitive procurement under the GSA Federal Supply Schedule program for secure data center space and cloud computing services. The acquisition is being conducted on a sole source basis from Equinix, Inc., specifically to support NRC headquarters' secure cloud computing and cloud access requirements. The services must provide zero-hop connectivity and be available locally to NRC headquarters in Rockville, Maryland. The notice was posted on July 13, 2022, and falls under the NAICS code 334290 for Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing and PSC code DC01 for IT and Telecom Data Center Support Services.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to justify the use of a sole source procurement method for critical data center services that require zero-hop connectivity capabilities. The NRC requires secure cloud computing infrastructure with direct, local connectivity to their Rockville headquarters facility, which necessitates specialized technical capabilities. The procurement is being executed through the GSA Multiple-Award Schedule Program, utilizing existing contract vehicles rather than conducting a full and open competition. Only Equinix, Inc. has been identified as capable of providing the required zero-hop connectivity services in the specific geographic location needed by the NRC. The justification document indicates that the unique technical requirements and location-specific needs support the agency's determination to proceed with a limited sources approach rather than competitive bidding.
