Broadband ISP Services

WaTech, the Washington State Technology Services Division, is requesting quotations for broadband ISP services across multiple Washington state locations under RFQ 27-RFQ-009, with quotes due September 9, 2026. Vendors must have both a current NSA (nondisclosure agreement) and all applicable addenda on file to participate or bid.

The scope covers broadband internet service delivery to three identified sites: a location in Olympia (1500 Lincoln Ave SW) requiring 3 Mbps upload and 15 Mbps download minimum bandwidth, and locations in Walla Walla (92 Wainwright Dr) and Spokane (222 E 5th Ave), each requiring 100 Mbps for both upload and download. All sites require a 30-day guaranteed install interval as baseline, though vendors may propose shorter intervals for evaluation consideration. Special mandatory requirements include installation of extended handoff connections, circuit labeling, photographic documentation, UPS installation compliant with seismic codes, and coordination with local facility contacts for building alterations as needed.

Pricing is structured around Monthly Recurring Charges (MRC) and Non-Recurring Charges (NRC). The Olympia location carries example pricing of $500.00 MRC and $1,000.00 NRC; Walla Walla and Spokane show $0.00 for both components in the cost model, indicating potential variation by vendor response or service tier.

Evaluation uses a dual-scoring approach combining timeline points (based on guaranteed install intervals) and cost points. The RFQ indicates the cost model supports up to 20 potential sites, though only three contain active requirements in the current version. Complete RFQ documentation, including pricing structures, terms, conditions, and service level agreements, is available on WaTech's procurement announcements website at https://watech.wa.gov/procurement-announcements.
