DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Denver, Colorado is seeking vendors to provide direct internet access services aimed at expanding and modernizing the existing computing environment. The selected provider will be responsible for supplying, installing, configuring, and maintaining a dedicated, symmetrical fiber-based Internet circuit connected to the NEIC/GHSC demarcation point.
The scope of work encompasses all necessary last-mile construction, inside wiring, logical configuration (including BGP routing and IP address allocation), and the activation of IPv4/IPv6 services. Vendors must ensure full compliance with TIC 3.0 security requirements, offer DDoS mitigation solutions, and deliver continuous 24×7 monitoring and support for the duration of the contract. Agency-owned equipment beyond the demarcation point and internal LAN operations are excluded from the scope.
