Upgrade T1 service to ethernet

The United States Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants seeks to upgrade its existing T1 service to Ethernet at 16 locations throughout California in support of the Earthquake Monitoring Project. Offerors are requested to propose dedicated Ethernet bandwidth between 10-100 Mbps with 99.9% availability, delivered via either layer 2 or layer 3 network solutions. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical merit, timeline for completion, and total cost of ownership over either a single base year with four option years, or a two-year base with three option years. Interested parties must submit technical proposals by August 4, 2022.

There is no set-aside designation for this requirement. The primary NAICS code is 517110 and PSC code D304. The services will be performed at 16 sites in California over a potential five-year period. Offerors must detail pricing for both one- and two-year terms with option years, as well as any non-recurring charges or build costs. The estimated value ranges from $500,000 to $5,000,000 annually depending on the solution and number of option years exercised.
