This acquisition is issued as an request for quotation (RFQ). (iii) The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-88 effective 16 May 2016. (iv) The associated NAICS code is 238210. The small business size standard is $15,000,000.00. (v) The following is a list of contract line item number(s) and items, quantities and units of measure, (including option(s), if applicable): N/A (vi) Description of requirements: The High Performance Network Branch (RDRL-CIH-N) of The Computer Sciences Division (CSD) within The U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Computational and Information Sciences Directorate's (CISD) requires the implementation of Single Mode Fiber in an effort to provide high speed redundant connections with the Adelphi's Laboratory Center's (ALC) networks. Currently, ALC, located in Adelphi, Maryland, utilizes Multi-mode Fiber which does not allow for the provision of high speeds to users. Furthermore, ALC infrastructure currently relies on a single core device, which can result in a single point of failure and a higher probability of loss of connectivity or network service. C.2 Objective The objective of this effort is to address ALC network's simultaneous speed and redundancy issues. Installation of Single Mode Fiber Backbone Infrastructure will accommodate the addition of a second core, which will provide users connectivity in the event of a failure of core one. In the end, network users will experience faster, more reliable connectivity.
