AWARD NOTICE

The contract requires the provision, installation, and maintenance of a 10G non-switched Ethernet commercial lease circuit connecting locations in Oklahoma, specifically from a commercial demarc at Building 350, Room Open Bay, 304 South 6th Street, Altus AFB, OK, to another point in Oklahoma, with a service delivery target date of November 16, 2026. The work falls under NAICS code 517111 and is solicited as a Request for Quote under HC101325QA400, issued by the Department of Defense’s Telecommunications Division. The acquisition is conducted under the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process, where technical compliance and completeness are mandatory pass/fail gates—failure to address any technical requirement, service date, or pricing component results in exclusion from award. The vendor must deliver full technical documentation, including circuit/path connectivity diagrams in KMZ or KML format, detailed build specifications covering length, burial method, trenching, conduit use, and sub-contractor identities, as well as Round Trip Delay and jumbo framing parameters. Network survivability is critical: the circuit must be provisioned with total physical diversity from an existing circuit, requiring minimum 50-meter separation in manholes, conduit, central offices, and fiber paths. The route must completely avoid Falcon Road and Building 215 on Altus AFB and the AT&T Central Office at 220 North Hudson Street. Testing protocols demand 48-hour advance notification to DISA GOC Tier-II Engineering prior to end-to-end 10G testing, with performance thresholds set at 99.5% or better availability, zero frame loss at maximum frame rate under ITU-T Y.1564 standards, and jitter under 3 msec. Acceptance is contingent upon government confirmation of RTD alignment and formal notification if discrepancies arise. The contractor is strictly prohibited from using covered telecommunications equipment or services under FAR 52.204-25 or any article restricted under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act (FASCSA), necessitating comprehensive disclosure and verification through SAM.gov and DIBNet. All quotes must be submitted via IDEAS by June 30, 2026, at 4:00 PM CST, and must include separate monthly recurring and non-recurring cost breakdowns. The contract is not a small business set-aside, and awards
