Who to talk to

At the forecast stage there is no active procurement, so contact is welcome rather than restricted — this is the one window where a direct conversation is straightforwardly appropriate.

The Small Business Specialist is usually the better first call. Helping firms like yours find and compete for this work is their actual job, and they can tell you whether a set-aside is still under consideration.

Statement of work, as posted

DHS/S&T/CIO requires renewal of Data Center cage space, power, cooling and connectivity for 10 cabinets at Equinix Ashburn and associated wiring and zero hop network connections and internet connection services to DHS Homeland Security Enterprise Network (HSEN), other carriers, and Cloud Service Providers (CSP)s. The DHS HSEN cage is located in Equinix Ashburn, VA, Bldg DC11. The DHS S&T Equinix cage also is located at Equinix, Ashburn, Va, Bldg DC11. The Data Center Service Provider shall provide the infrastructure support for a Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) Level 1-Basic Services solution. The Contractor shall continue to provide a colocation facility support for the DHS S&T core infrastructure. The requested facility is located in the DC Metropolitan area that is within fifty 50 mile radius of DHS S&T location (3701 Martin Luther King Ave, SW, Washington DC 20528). The facility shall provide direct zero hop access to DHS HSEN and to carriers such as AT&T, Verizon and Level 1 and CSPs such as Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google, Oracle, and IBM. This direct connection facilitates better access and lower latency to applications within the above-mentioned entities. Zero hop is defined as providing direct, physical connectivity within the colocation facility campus to HSEN, CSPs, Tier 1 Internet Gateways, and Telcos. This is required to maintain system functionality by reducing network hops and latency, which are caused due to the numerous interfaces between DHS systems, to a minimum. Placing the DHS S&T network systems in a co-location facility also facilitates the routing and inspection of traffic between CSPs, as well as, between the internal DHS S&T network to HSEN and to the CSPs. Additionally, DHS S&T requires space within the Washington DC metropolitan area and direct patching to DHS HSEN’s cage. These specialized requirements can only be met by Equinix.
