The NAVSEA Technology Infrastructure Project (TIP) intends to issue an order to AT&T to maintain its existing regional hub to service the southeast United States in an AT&T Central Office in Norfolk, Virginia. The NAVSEA Enterprise Wide Network (NEWNET) hub consists of racks of communication and computer equipment. These devices are housed in an AT&T Central Office where expansion is available, protected from unauthorized access, operated in a controlled temperature and humidity environment, and be located such that support services are available on request and backhaul connections are eliminated. The only way to meet these requirments is to locate the equipment within the carrier's central office. NEWNET is using AT&T network services (ATM and private lines at present; frame relay and ISDN expansion possible in the future). AT&T is the only vendor that can provide the resource. Performance period extneds approx. 10/15/95 through 9/30/96. Note 22 applies. (0265)
