PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE - NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE

NOI-NIAID-25-2253857

NAICS - 517111, Wired Telecommunications Carriers

This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with Lumen Technologies Government Solutions to procure the renewal of 10GB optical wave transport service for the Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML) in Hamilton, Montana to a telecom crossroads in Chicago, Illinois that ultimately connects to NIAID-s leased space within an Ashburn, Virginia collocation site. The line supports RML-s access to NIAID-s centralized business and scientific functions, such as genomic sequencing services, to NIAID laboratories located in Maryland. The RML generates terabytes of data that must be transmitted back to NIAID research and backup facilities in Maryland and the 10GB high speed connectivity is required to do so. Service delivery to the termination points shall be via 10GB ethernet over dark fiber as required to provide service to run from the Ashburn facility ingress point to NIAID-s leased spaced within the facility.

This contractor will be utilized for the renewal due to the current lapse situation as being the best solution for the government under the present emergency-only guidelines of the Presidential Memo on Acquisitions, Alert 2025-02.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Operations and Engineering Branch (OEB) of the Office of Cyber Infrastructure and Computational Biology (OCICB) manages and develops the technology infrastructure that supports intramural research, extramural investments, and administrative management. OEB services more than 4, 000 end users in over 20 locations throughout the United States. Infrastructure services provided by OEB are maintained and used 24 hours a day, 7 days a week....
