Test Enterprise Network Modernization III (TENM3)- EPG, ASOs, and OTC Dept Of Defense
Special Notice: DEPT OF DEFENSE Test Enterprise Network Modernization III (TENM3)- EPG, ASOs, and OTC
The DEPT OF DEFENSE, specifically the DEPT OF THE ARMY's ACC-ORL office, has issued a Special Notice for the procurement of Test Enterprise Network Modernization III (TENM3) services. TENM3 encompasses the ATEC requirements of Test Network Modernization, ATEC Fiber Modernization, and Future Wireless Network projects. The purpose of TENM3 is to provide ATEC with a test network capable of moving large volumes of test data for analysis and decision-making via fiber and wireless technologies. The network will support Multi-Domain Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) distributed testing and data transfer to the cloud environment. The program includes the installation and replacement of fiber infrastructures, development and installation of a modern enterprise wireless network solution, and fielding test network hardware. The goal is to meet bandwidth limitations, end of life requirements, redundancy, and network management needs. The TENM3 project will support ATEC's current and future mission-critical test network requirements.
The procurement notice is seeking industry responses for the network design and cost estimation for a hybrid fiber and wireless communications network architecture. The network will utilize existing infrastructure at U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) Subordinate Organizations (ASOs) - Aberdeen, Arctic Regions, Electronic Proving Grounds, Redstone, West Desert, White Sands, Yuma, and Operational Test Command (OTC). The procurement will proceed in three phases, with separate RFIs for each ASO.
The procurement notice provides specific use cases/scenarios for each location to assist potential respondents in developing their proposed solutions. Interested parties are requested to provide well-articulated and detailed technical solutions in their capability statement submissions, along with a cost ROM estimate. The government is specifically seeking responses from interested U.S. vendors, preferably small businesses, that can provide an existing commercial solution for the hybrid fiber and wireless network.
The requirements for the network solution include cybersecurity support, spectrum utilization and availability, performance, propagation range, integration effort, mobility, portability, recurring cost, scalability, support for future network needs, standards-based technology, upfront cost, training, and high noise performance. The proposed solution should also address how it can be demonstrated, the necessary infrastructure requirements, integration with existing networks, use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies, risk mitigation from cyber threats, suitability for requirements (e.g., 5G cellular, Wi-Fi), and any modeling and simulation tools used for coverage analysis. Additionally, a lifecycle sustainment plan with cost estimate is required for the proposed solution.
Site visits to each location will be conducted to assist vendors in understanding the test environments, existing infrastructure, RFI scenarios, and to answer questions. However, attendance at the site visit is voluntary and not required to submit a response to the RFI.
The procurement notice provides submission details, including the maximum page limit for capability statement responses, the request for a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost and schedule information, and the requirement to indicate the company's classification as a large or small business under the listed NAICS codes.
