The contract requires installation of a diverse circuit path with a 200Mbps data transfer rate, completely separate from existing COX/LUMEN/VERIZON circuits.

While the precise award value is not specified, the contract includes a 5-year service period with a required 99% uptime SLA and 24/7 helpdesk support. Installation must be completed within 6 months of the purchase request, with the contractor responsible for providing and installing PE Routers, fiber cabling, and SFPs between facilities.
