About this opportunity

Washington Technology Solutions (WaTech) is conducting a Request for Quotation (RFQ #25-RFQ-023) for Wireline Ethernet or Fixed Wireless Services across multiple counties and cities in Washington state. The procurement seeks telecommunications infrastructure services, specifically focusing on establishing network connectivity for 15 specific site locations requiring bandwidth services ranging from 100Mbps to 1Gbps. Vendors must possess a signed Master Services Agreement and either a Wireline Ethernet or Fixed Wireless Technical Addendum to participate in the solicitation. The evaluation model will score proposals based on multiple criteria, including local loop type (fiber receiving 40 points, fixed wireless 20 points, copper 10 points), installation timeline, and cost considerations. Key deliverables include providing diverse circuit installations, meeting specific extended handoff requirements, and configuring multi-port/multi-VLAN networks with strict carrier restrictions. The RFQ was released on February 12, 2025, with responses due by March 5, 2025, and a pre-proposal conference scheduled for February 21, 2025, via Microsoft Teams. The announcement of apparently successful vendor(s) is expected on March 12, 2025, with the earliest Statement of Work issuance date of March 19, 2025.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Proposals will be evaluated with a maximum attainable score of 100 points, with pricing playing a significant role in vendor selection. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, vendors must provide Monthly Recurring Charges (MRC) and Non-Recurring Charges (NRC) for each location, with supplemental bandwidth pricing options required. The procurement covers jurisdictions including but not limited to Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima, and numerous other counties and cities across Washington state. Vendors must demonstrate capabilities for complex network installations, including obtaining building owner permissions, completing background checks, providing optical handoff configurations, and conducting comprehensive site surveys. Proposals will be considered firm offers valid for 90 days following the announcement of the apparently successful vendor, with potential for future bandwidth upgrades and multi-year service commitments.
