The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin is preparing to procure a dedicated point-to-point T1 circuit and associated TLS line between PSEG Long Island and the Northport VA Medical Center Building 209 RTAC/SCADA environment, with responses due November 17, 2026 at 12:00 PM CST. No set-aside is used, and respondents must identify the specific tool offered and state their FedRAMP certification level or ability to obtain certification with a projected timeframe. The anticipated Firm-Fixed Price contract will be awarded to a single responsive, responsible contractor under NAICS 541519 and PSC DG11. Work is performed at VA facilities in Northport, New York, and at contractor facilities, with no travel anticipated. The period of performance runs November 15, 2026 through November 14, 2027, with two one-year options through November 14, 2031, not to exceed 60 months total.

Required technical standards include the VA Technical Reference Model, VA Critical Security Controls (effective July 1, 2025), FICAM, IPv6 support, TIC 3.0, and HIPAA privacy and security rules. Contractor personnel require background investigations (Tier 1/Low Risk designation for the identified tasks), VA Talent Management System training, and PIV credentials. The primary deliverable is a Contractor Project Management Plan, with quarterly staff roster updates. Performance is measured against a "Satisfactory or higher" standard under a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan.

Responses must include firm name, point of contact, phone, email, Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, small business status and certifications, and an Authorized Reseller letter if applicable, sent to Marcela.Clark2@va.gov. The notice is for planning only, is not a solicitation, and the VA will not pay response costs. Responses are not offers. Firms that do not respond may still participate in any later RFQ or RFP, which will be released on the Governmentwide Point of Entry.
