About this opportunity
Washington Technology Solutions (WaTech) is conducting a Request for Quotation (RFQ) 25-RFQ-031 for Broadband Internet Service Provider (ISP) Services, primarily targeting Department of Corrections facilities across multiple Washington counties. The procurement seeks vendors to provide redundant and diverse broadband circuits for three specific correction centers: Stafford Creek Corrections Center in Aberdeen, Coyote Ridge Corrections Center in Connell, and Airway Heights Corrections Center. Vendors must propose circuit configurations with bandwidth options ranging from 50Mb to 100Mb, with a guaranteed 90-day installation interval and strict requirements that proposed solutions cannot utilize existing primary circuit providers at each location. To participate, vendors must have a Network Services Agreement (NSA) and applicable addenda on file, and must adhere to facility-specific security protocols for installation and maintenance. The RFQ was posted on April 23, 2025, with proposals due by May 7, 2025, and evaluation criteria will include both technical capabilities and cost, with points allocated for timeline performance and pricing. Vendors must provide detailed floor maps, commit to specific installation intervals, and demonstrate compliance with site security procedures.
The solicitation appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types, suggesting open competition among qualified ISP vendors. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly listed, the procurement covers multiple jurisdictions including Adams, Benton, Chelan, Clark, Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, King, Klickitat, Okanogan, and Yakima Counties, among others. The cost model indicates a comprehensive approach to pricing, with both Monthly Recurring Charges (MRC) and Non-Recurring Charges (NRC) to be considered. Although no specific budget range is provided in the available documents, the detailed cost model in the "25-RFQ-031-Appendix-A-Cost-Model.xlsx" suggests a structured financial evaluation process. The solicitation emphasizes the critical nature of these broadband services for correction facilities, indicating that reliability, security, and technical compliance are paramount. Vendors will need to demonstrate not only technical capability but also an understanding of the unique requirements of providing network services to secured government facilities.
