This document is an administrative amendment (0004) to solicitation HC101325QA118, issued on October 22, 2025, by PL8211 to contractors. The amendment extends the service date to January 30, 2026, and the quote due date to November 5, 2025. It also updates location details with latitude and longitude coordinates and specifies that the 10GB wave supports a SONET OC-192. The requirement is for contractors to provide, install, and maintain an unprotected, transparent leased 10GB wave between DISA IE1 switches at NAS Whidbey, WA, and Hill AFB, UT. This service must be engineered and provisioned with total end-to-end physical diversity from a previously established service (SG27NOV249161/HC101325QA117), including a minimum 50-meter physical separation. Contractors are responsible for addressing all technical requirements, agreeing to DITCO additional texts, providing detailed price quotations, and meeting the requested service date of December 1, 2025 (SIP). Quotes must be uploaded to IDEAS and include sufficient detail for evaluation. This is a reaward of an existing service, and awards for both HC101325QA117 and HC101325QA118 will go to a single vendor based on the lowest combined life cycle cost and technical acceptability. Failure to quote for all requirements will result in an incomplete and unawardable submission. Maxwell Jones is the DITCO contact for inquiries.

The government file outlines stringent requirements for a telecommunications service to be provisioned at Whidbey Island. The service must feature totally diverse, end-to-end physical paths, including separate manholes, conduits, central offices, and fiber builds, with a minimum 50-meter physical separation from specified TSRs, waived inside Building 2700. The telecom provider is mandated to supply DITCO-compliant PowerPoint drawings detailing the route, total fiber miles, and round-trip delay, along with KMZ/KML diagrams of circuit/path connectivity for all Points of Presence. Single-mode fiber must be engineered to allow government channelization changes without provider intervention and adhere to strict jitter and wander specifications. Wavelength transmission services for 10Gbps must comply with ITU-T and TELCORDIA standards, ensuring transparency of underlying protocols. The fiber must terminate to the line side of the fiber terminating patch panel at government SDPs, with light levels adjusted to +0.5 to -7 loss. A documented 72-hour end-to-end test per ITU Standard M.2101 is required before turn-up. Key circuit parameters include single-mode fiber termination with SC connectors, 99.5% availability, one-hour repair response, dedicated path, carrier visibility for outages, and a 24x7 Network Operational Center. The document specifies performance requirements for wavelength transmission service, including availability, error rates, and a round-trip delay of less than or equal to 10 milliseconds. The vendor is responsible for installation and maintenance, coordinating site visits 72 hours in advance, and providing specific circuit and trouble report numbers to the accepting authority.

This document outlines the requirements for a telecommunications project at Whidbey Island, focusing on the design and provisioning of a diverse fiber optic network.

Vendors must provide detailed technical drawings, including route diagrams and measurements for fiber miles and latency. The project demands single-mode fiber capable of supporting 10 Gbps transmission rates while allowing for government-controlled channelization. Additional requirements stress minimal service interruptions, specific response times for repairs, and stringent testing protocols, including a satisfactory 72-hour end-to-end test per ITU standards. The vendor is responsible for maintenance and must ensure service availability of at least 99.5%. Furthermore, the document outlines performance metrics such as error rates, jitter, and round-trip delay, emphasizing rigorous testing and documentation during service acceptance. This RFP reflects the government's commitment to high-performance telecommunications infrastructure while stressing compliance with technical standards and operational reliability.
