D--CVOO Circuit Lines to support CVACS

The contract supports the Central Valley Operations Office’s telecommunications infrastructure to enable the CVACS system, covering IT and SCADA services under a firm-fixed-price arrangement with a base period from June 1, 2026, to May 31, 2027, and one optional one-year extension. Services include AT&T phone circuits, data lines, VOIP, Winfax analog, and IPv6-compliant upgrades, with performance based on a Performance Work Statement requiring 95% timeliness and 98% quality compliance. Work is performed in Sacramento, CA, and across the California Great Basin region, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the delivery site by the Government’s Contracting Officer’s Representative. The award will be made using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable method, where only technically acceptable offers are evaluated, and the lowest price wins. The contract falls under NAICS code 517111 and is administered by the Bureau of Reclamation’s Mid-Pacific Regional Office in Sacramento, with payments processed electronically through the Department of Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, not WAWF. All invoicing must be submitted via IPP, and contractors must register there prior to submission. Security is a paramount requirement, mandating that all personnel hold appropriate clearances under NISPOM standards, are U.S. citizens or legally admitted foreign nationals, and present valid identification such as a PIV card. Contractors must comply with Reclamation’s CUI protections, implement cybersecurity protocols, report incidents immediately, and ensure annual security awareness training for all staff. Subcontractors are bound by the same obligations, and the prime contractor must enforce them. Access to sensitive data and government systems is strictly controlled, requiring prior approval for any public disclosures or media releases. The contract incorporates a suite of FAR clauses addressing subcontractor protections, executive compensation reporting, electronic payments, prohibitions on inverted corporations and foreign purchases, and unauthorized obligations, while also including options to extend services up to six months. No pricing details are provided in the solicitation, so the total contract value cannot be determined, though the structure includes base and optional years with payment directed to the Bureau of Reclamation’s Sacramento office. Performance is evaluated strictly on technical acceptability and price, with no trade-offs permitted.
