About this opportunity

The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts issued a Request for Information on enterprise colocation data center services with a response deadline of September 21, 2026 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. This RFI is market research only and does not commit AOUSC to contract or restrict its ultimate acquisition approach; responding does not guarantee participation in any future solicitation, and non-response does not preclude it. AOUSC seeks qualified vendors and industry recommendations on structuring this requirement, which supports two geographically dispersed data centers in Ashburn, Virginia and El Segundo, California. The current GSA EIS contract expires July 2032. Respondents must address nine technical areas including facility continuity, geographic location and diversity strategy, migration and transition services, power considerations, future architecture, enterprise and cloud connectivity, government contracting experience, and acquisition strategy recommendations. Submissions are limited to ten pages in 12-point Times New Roman with one-inch margins, must exclude marketing materials and generic capability statements, and must include company contact information, NAICS codes, PSC codes, UEI, and existing contract vehicles. All response costs are the vendor's sole responsibility, and all submissions become AOUSC property. Electronic responses must be sent to arnold_casterline@ao.uscourts.gov with "Enterprise Colocation Data Center" in the subject line.

Notice text

This Request for Information (RFI) is issued for conducting market research and planning purposes only. Accordingly, this RFI constitutes neither a Request for Quote, Request for Proposal, nor a guarantee that one will be issued by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AOUSC) in the future; furthermore, it does not commit the AOUSC to contract for any services described herein. Additionally, this RFI does not restrict the AOUSC as to the ultimate acquisition approach.

The purpose of this RFI is to identify qualified vendors who can meet AOUSC requirements for the Enterprise Data Center, and to obtain industry input on the best approach for structuring and executing this requirement. Any contract or order that might be awarded based on information received or derived from this market research will be the outcome of the competitive process. Your response to this RFI will be treated only as information for the AOUSC to consider.

The AOUSC is not responsible for any cost incurred by industry in furnishing this information. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested vendor’s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future solicitation if any is issued. Any information submitted by respondents to this RFI is strictly voluntary. All submissions will become AOUSC property and will not be returned.

Interested vendors are responsible for adequately marking proprietary, restricted, or competition sensitive information contained in their response. AOUSC is under no obligation to provide feedback to the company, or to contact the company for clarification of any information submitted in response to this RFI.

Responses should be as complete and informative as possible.
