ITT72 - Internet Service

This Request for Quotes (RFQ) is issued by the Massachusetts Office of the State Auditor (OSA) for new internet services. OSA is seeking a vendor to provide a 2 Gbps internet circuit, DDoS protection, routable static IP addresses, leased compatible routers, installation and configuration services, and ongoing troubleshooting and support. The selected vendor will be responsible for implementing the new internet service for use with Teams collaboration, voice, and general internet, as well as Microsoft Express Route. The contract term may extend in accordance with the statewide contract terms, and the initial project is anticipated to be completed within three months. Qualified vendors must be on the Statewide Contract ITT72-Category 2-9: Network Services, Communications & Related Equipment. Evaluation criteria include the proposed implementation plan, service delivery timeline, service level agreements, and overall costs. The pricing for this contract will be based on the pre-negotiated rates on the statewide contract.

There are no specific set-asides for this opportunity, and the current internet service is provided through the Commonwealth's MagNet service. OSA will be responsible for arranging any cross-connections required at the co-location facility. The Commonwealth reserves the right to negotiate changes to the contract, amend the RFQ, and reject any or all proposals. The budget or potential award value is not specified in the RFQ.
