This Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for migrating Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) circuits to a Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) network at Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB). The contractor will provide on-site support for ten months to migrate 300-500 circuits, including engineering, planning, equipment provision, and implementation services. Key objectives include developing a migration design, supplying necessary cables and DWDM hardware, executing migrations, performing testing, and furnishing documentation. The project requires a Ciena-certified Project Manager and two technical personnel with significant experience. Security requirements are stringent, demanding DoD Secret clearances, compliance with VSFB policies, and restrictions on electronic devices. The schedule details deliverables like a draft integrated master schedule and design solution, with the period of performance being 10 months from contract award. The government will provide existing SONET circuits, DWDM equipment, and documentation. The contractor must adhere to industry standards, environmental regulations, and specific reporting deliverables.

Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB) is seeking a contractor for the SONET to DWDM Migration Part 2B project. The current Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) infrastructure is end-of-life, and circuits need to be migrated to a new Ciena-based Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Optical Transport Network (OTN). The contractor will provide on-site support for ten months, migrating 300-500 circuits. Key responsibilities include migration design, solution development, integrated master schedule submission, equipment provision and installation (cables, patch panels, and specific Ciena DWDM hardware), physical migration of circuits, testing, and documentation. The contractor must have Ciena certification, direct experience with DWDM migrations, and a DoD Secret clearance. All work must adhere to industry standards and VSFB security requirements, with a focus on minimizing government involvement and coordinating around base operations like Launch Framelight.

The 30th Contracting Squadron is issuing a single-source justification for the SLD 30/SC SONET Migration Part 2B project. This initiative addresses the Department of Defense's mandate to eliminate Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) technologies, including the unsupported Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) currently used at Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB). The government requires planning, program management, installation, and testing services, along with the acquisition of Ciena equipment (3926m Service Delivery Switch and software) to expand the existing Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) network. Ciena brand-name equipment is essential due to demonstrated interoperability issues and failures experienced with mixed-brand configurations in a previous DWDM phase. Efforts to obtain competition, including a Sources Sought notice and outreach to Ciena-identified small businesses, did not yield alternative brand recommendations. The contract will be a 100% small business set-aside. Future phases of the DWDM network are also likely to require brand-name components to ensure compatibility.

The 30th Contracting Squadron (30 CONS) issued a combined synopsis/solicitation (FA461026Q0003) for commercial services to migrate up to 500 circuits from a legacy Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) to a Ciena-based Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Optical Transport Network (OTN) at Vandenberg Space Force Base. This Request for Quotation (RFQ) seeks to award one Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract under full and open competition, with a NAICS code of 541512 ($34M small business size standard). Offerors must be SAM registered and possess a CAGE code. Award will be based on the best value, considering technical approach and price, with the intent to award without interchanges. Quotations are due by December 10, 2025, at 1300 PT and must include a cover letter, technical approach (limited to 20 pages), and a completed pricing sheet, with all prices held for 60 calendar days.
