About this opportunity
Washington Technology Solutions (WaTech) is seeking to procure Wireline Ethernet or Fixed Wireless Services through Request for Quotation #25-RFQ-024, targeting multiple counties and cities across Washington state. The procurement focuses on establishing network connectivity for various state facilities, including sites for the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), Department of Licensing (DOL), and Labor & Industries (L&I). Vendors must possess a signed Network Services Agreement (NSA) and have either a Wireline Ethernet Technical Addendum or Fixed Wireless Technical Addendum to participate. The services require installation of network connections with bandwidths ranging from 10Mbps to 1Gbps, with a standard guaranteed installation interval of 150 days. Proposal evaluation will be based on three key components: Cost Score (calculated from non-recurring and 24-month recurring costs), Timeline Score, and Local Loop Score, with different point allocations for fiber (40 points), fixed wireless (20 points), and copper (10 points) connection types. A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for March 7, 2025, from 9:30-10:00 AM via Microsoft Teams, and proposals are due by March 19, 2025, at 12:00 PM Olympia time, with the apparent successful vendor to be announced on March 26, 2025.
No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. Vendors must provide comprehensive pricing that includes all service delivery costs such as cabling, conduit, fiber, entrance facilities, equipment, permits, labor, and fees, excluding taxes. The procurement covers nine service locations across Washington state, with special mandatory requirements including equipment mounting restrictions and multi-port/multi-VLAN configurations at certain sites. Contractors are required to provide at least one supplemental bandwidth pricing option per site and maintain their pricing as a firm offer for 90 days following the announcement of the apparently successful vendor, with potential extension to 180 days if mutually agreed. While specific budget ranges were not disclosed, the cost model suggests a structured approach to evaluating financial proposals across multiple service locations. The earliest expected Statement of Work issuance is April 2, 2025, indicating a potential contract start date around that time.
