Description

This announcement serves as notice of intent that the Defense Information Technology Contracting Office (DITCO) intends to issue sole source Communication Service Authorizations (CSAs) under the Basic Agreement to Qwest Communications for additional bandwidth capacity to the existing Internet Access for the Unclassified but Sensitive Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNet) in the continental United States. The NIPRNet is a common user information systems network supporting mission critical military applications as well as routine daily services in support of the Warfighter and others as required by Department of Defense. These services include military features and capabilities not necessarily offered by commercial service providers, such as surge capacity, security, tactical and allied systems interoperability, robustness, and assured services and precedence to support national emergencies and military operations. Qwest is the incumbent provider of the existing OC-12c Internet Access optical bandwidth to the NIPRNet currently under contract with DITCO. These additional OC-12c requirements will be issued to Qwest to assure network routing integrity, network management, Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and to limit operational impact to the NIPRNet users. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304(c)(1), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Comments and/or questions shall be submitted electronically to the Contracting Officer.
