AMEND 0002: Requirement to start a 50 MB Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Virtual Private Network (VPN) layer 3 internet commercial circuit between Europe and SWA.

The government requires a standard Layer 3 MPLS service with Internet Protocol addresses assigned by the Third-Party Vendor (TPV), as current IPs are already in use on the CCSD. For testing, vendors must adhere to universal standard testing requirements, specifically RFC 6815 or ITU-T Y.1564, for 24 hours, providing all results. Additionally, the customer wishes to retain their existing IP addresses.

Amendment 0001 for Inquiry HC102126QA036-0001, issued on February 24, 2026, extends the quote submission deadline to March 4, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central European Time. The amendment addresses vendor questions and provides customer responses. The core requirement is for a 50 MB Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Virtual Private Network (VPN) layer 3 internet commercial circuit between the U.S. Embassy Paris, France, and Tel Aviv, Israel. Vendors must specify the provisioning interval, list all equipment used at the Government network interface, and comply with all technical acceptability criteria outlined in DATTs, Provisions, Clauses, Sections F-M, and all attachments. Eligibility for award requires responses to specific FAR and DFARS provisions, and Prime Telecommunications Providers (TPs) must be registered and receive a favorable rating in JCCS, unless they are a U.S. Publicly Traded Company or wholly owned Government subsidiary. Offerors must also submit detailed circuit/path connectivity diagrams in KMZ or KML format with their quote and after award. Any discrepancies or questions must be submitted in writing by February 12, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central European Time to DITCO-Europe. Quotes are to be submitted via the Integrated Defense Enterprise Acquisition System (IDEAS).
