- Description
- This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13.501(a)(1)(ii) and 41 U.S.C. 1901, only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized. This requirement is to procure a brand name Zayo Group ”dark” fiber point-to-point service from the Cohen Building located at 330 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC, 202367 to Microsoft’s Azure point of presence in Ashburn, VA, and one (1) Gig Wave which provides the Agency redundant and diverse local access connectivity to its Platform As A Service (PAAS) service provider, Microsoft and TSI Digital Management Team between 330 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC, 202367 and 4300 Brighton Boulevard, Denver, Colorado, 80216. The supplies/services required to meet BBG’s needs are dark or unused fiber, which will be “lit” or used for data transport between the Agency and Microsoft network equipment. Zayo is uniquely qualified to provide the required services because Zayo is the only provider of dark fiber services that has access to the Cohen Building. Procurement of another brand other than Zayo would require installation of a new dark fiber connection and would be greater than the cost of the current annual connectivity costs. The BBG is currently benefiting from Zayo’s previous investment in connecting the Health and Human Services Agency, which shares office space with the Broadcasting Board of Governors. All such capability statements for consideration must be received by the Government by 5:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on December 21, 2017. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this Notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any information received from interested firms responding to this notice must be sufficient in detail to afford evaluation without added submission as the information submitted will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any questions regarding this Notice shall be in writing and submitted to the Senior Contract Specialist, Andrei Howze via E-mail at ahowze@bbg.gov. This notice is not a RFP, IFB, or RFQ.
