Colocation Services

The government authority located in Florida is seeking secure and reliable high-power density colocation services to support its artificial intelligence technology infrastructure. This agency needs dedicated data center resources to host its own equipment, ensure operational continuity, and support current and future information technology service delivery needs. The requested services include colocation space within a controlled, professionally managed environment, associated power and energy services, rack installation, and fiber cross-connectivity. The project scope requires a minimum of one secure, dedicated space for an eight-rack contiguous privacy enclosure mesh cage. The provider must furnish and install six server cabinets, with an initial deployment activating four of these racks. The immediate placement of the initial four racks and the two growth footprints must be engineered up front for a zero-migration layout designed for direct-to-chip water cooling. The facility must deliver a high-density power architecture with 2N redundant power distribution units, providing a total critical continuous power load of eighty kilowatts allocated to the cage and up to twenty kilowatts per active rack. The cooling architecture requires an active on-site chilled water plant system with water-to-chip liquid cooling readiness. Connectivity requirements include a carrier-neutral ecosystem and infrastructure supporting direct termination of unlit dark fiber into the cage or via the meet-me room within a specific geographic radius. The agency requires physical security measures including compliance certification, access control, mantraps, and continuous surveillance. The commercial terms require a hybrid billing model where transitioning to commitment-based tiers triggers contractually defined discounts on the per-kilowatt power pricing. The contract period will span three years, and the performance of the work must take place onsite. Only onshore organizations from the United States are eligible to participate in this procurement. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget for these services. No specific procurement schedule or key dates are provided in the source material.
