Active SLED Opportunity · COLORADO · STATE OF COLORADO OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
AI Summary
The Colorado Governor’s Office of Information Technology seeks vendor input via an RFI to optimize the Colorado State Network's transition to SD-WAN. The goal is to standardize pricing models for a future cooperative procurement contract serving multiple public-sector entities over five years.
The Governor’s Office of Information Technology (OIT) is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to gather market intelligence and carrier feedback for the strategic optimization of the Colorado State Network (CSN) as it actively transitions to a Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solution. Serving numerous public-sector endpoints across the state via high-speed 10GbE connections running IPv4 protocol configurations, the enterprise infrastructure distributes mission-critical applications, data traffic, and dedicated internet access through secure core hubs—including Lakewood, Denver, Pueblo, and Colorado Springs (Academy Loop). Through this formal market research, OIT is explicitly soliciting vendor expertise to standardize our future pricing sheets, comparing a flat-rate Monthly Recurring Cost (MRC) Bandwidth Tier Matrix against a Geographic Zonal Banding model to successfully replace our legacy line-by-line address registry. Furthermore, this future contract will be designed as a permissive cooperative procurement vehicle, allowing Colorado executive branch agencies, the judicial and legislative branches, institutions of higher education, and local municipalities to seamlessly piggyback on the resulting rates over an intended five-year term. **Solicitation Type**: RFI - Request for Information (Formal) **Source ID**: PU.AG.USA.2569169.C16142001 **Piggyback Contract**: No **Question Acceptance Deadline**: 06/12/2026 04:00 PM EDT **Questions are submitted online**: Yes **Bid Submission Type**: Electronic Bid Submission **Owner Organization**: Governor’s Office of Information Technology **Solicitation Number**: 2026-044 **Reference Number**: 0000425656 **Pricing**: Lump sum **Bid Documents List**: | Item Name | Description | Mandatory | Limited to 1 file | |---|---|---|---| | Bid Documents | Documents defining the proposal | No | No |
