The Department of Defense, specifically the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at the Rome Research Site in New York, has awarded a contract for the installation and maintenance of a VISnet internet circuit. This procurement, identified by solicitation number FA875120Q0039, requires a dedicated 10 GigE protected circuit with a committed and peak data rate of 5,000 Mbps. The technical specifications mandate a 10 GigE Ethernet enhanced small form factor pluggable fiber optic transceiver with single mode LC connectors, ensuring high-speed connectivity and reliability. To ensure maximum uptime and redundancy, the contract specifies that the point of presence equipment must be fed from dual redundant diverse pathways. Due to these stringent technical requirements, the contract was pursued as a sole source procurement from Level 3 Communications, as other providers were unable to meet the necessary redundancy standards. This action was authorized under 10 USC 2304(c)(1) to support the critical data infrastructure needs of the AFRL facility.
