Proposals for 50Mbps dedicated fiber-based internet service to the Umar Zahir Building, Hulhumalé, Maldives

The U.S. Embassy in Sri Lanka is seeking proposals from local internet service providers to provide a 50Mbps dedicated fiber-based internet service to the Umar Zahir Building in Hulhumalé, Maldives. The scope of work includes providing a reliable, enterprise-grade fiber internet connection with high availability, low latency, and minimal downtime. The service must be suitable for mission-critical operations and support future scalability. The selected provider will be required to provide all labor, materials, permits, licenses, and supervision necessary for fully operational service. Some key requirements include: • Committed internet bandwidth of 50 Mbps • Bandwidth must be guaranteed (non-best-effort) • Service must be delivered via fiber optic cable • Handoff must be provided using a Multimode Fiber SFP from the ISP service switch • Optical and interface specifications must be shared prior to installation • ISP must provide a minimum of one (/29) public static IPv4 subnet • All IP addresses must be routable and permanently assigned for the duration of the contract • ISP-provided service switches/termination equipment must be enterprise-grade and support dual power supplies • The solution must support future bandwidth upgrades beyond 50 Mbps without major infrastructure changes • Fiber path design should allow for potential redundancy or secondary circuits in the future
