Description

The U.S Customs and Border Protection intends to issue a Request for Quote (RFQ) for contract award on a limited competition basis for service and maintenance on Ciena fiber optic transport equipment. Service and maintenance is required at the Air and Marine Operations Center (AMOC) in Riverside, CA. Only vendors capable of providing the unique and highly specialized knowledge of the Ciena 6500 & 5170 Fiber Transport Equipment are qualified to work on this equipment. CBP network architecture, maintenance platforms, and configuration systems will work properly with this fiber transport equipment. The use of other vendors could result in interoperability, compatibility, or interface issues that would prevent the equipment from being able to meet the requirement of our Operations Center.

The Government intends to award a contract to an authorized Ciena vendor whose quote is the most advantageous to the Government. Competition is limited to three contractors who are authorized Ciena vendors: Carahsoft Software Corporation, RONCO Communications, and Walker and Associates. The anticipated contract period of performance will be from January 26, 2023 through January 25, 2024.  

If any contractors feel they can the meet the requirements, please contact the Contract Specialist by email at nykia.warren@cbp.dhs.gov by the response date and time listed with this notice. You must submit a capabilities statement displaying your ability to meet the requirements.
