DESCRIPTION
A government authority in British Columbia is seeking a vendor to provide an edge network solution under a one-year contract. The requirement includes global traffic management through deployment of an Anycast network hosting authoritative DNS with near-instantaneous global propagation.
The requested solution must include a unified WAAP stack featuring a Layer 7 web application firewall, advanced bot management, and API shielding with automated discovery and schema validation. The initial capacity baseline covers 2 active root domains, approximately 5.06 TB of bandwidth over a 30-day period, 242 million requests, and 67 million DNS queries.
The scope also includes an identity-aware proxy capability to support future clientless ZTNA web portal access and JWT token translation for CIAM integration, with the goal of replacing legacy inbound access gateways. In addition, the solution must provide infrastructure protection through global BGP advertisement and Layer 3/Layer 4 scrubbing for customer-owned ARIN IPv4 prefixes, including two /24 ranges and one /22 range. Questions are due by August 17, 2026.
