The California Department of Technology (CDT) has issued Request for Quotation (RFQ) #25-0197282 for the procurement of two /23 IPv4 address space blocks to support the Middle-Mile Broadband Initiative (MMBI). The specific address spaces will be transferred to CDT's ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers) ORG ID and allocated to two specific campus locations: the Gold Camp Campus in Rancho Cordova and the Vacaville Campus. This is a one-time purchase with CDT retaining indefinite ownership of the IP address space following allocation. Quotes are due by 5:00 PM Pacific Time on December 30, 2025, and must be submitted electronically to Anthony.Nguyen@state.ca.gov. The award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, with CDT reserving the right to amend the order for changes in quantity or time consistent with contract terms. Bidders must submit signed and dated quotes including a completed Cost Worksheet, Payee Data Record forms, Bidder Declaration, Federal Debarment Certification, and any applicable SB/DVBE certification documentation.

The procurement includes provisions for Small Business (SB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) certifications, with tiebreaker provisions favoring DVBEs that are also SBs. Bidders must provide California retailer's seller permits and Federal Employer Identification Numbers (FEIN). The contract incorporates various state and federal requirements, including DGS State Contracting Manual provisions, IT General Provisions, Federal Tax Information safeguarding requirements, and security and data protection standards. The contractor must warrant that the IPv4 address space is not blacklisted or hijacked and must comply with ARIN Registration Services Agreement and applicable ARIN Number Resource Policy. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the procurement is for a specific technical requirement of two /23 IPv4 address space blocks. CDT maintains the option to terminate the contract with thirty calendar days' prior written notice, and payment will be processed upon receipt of correct invoices referencing the purchase order number.
