Networx Enterprise responds to program goals including the need to respond to the changing marketplace by providing agencies access to a broad range of services and service providers.  Networx Enterprise also responds to sponsors desiring to increase opportunities for medium-size and small businesses, and is an integral part of the program strategy to ensure continuous competition.

Networx Enterprise is constructed around a minimum service profile that will provide attractive value to our agencies without demanding that offerors meet the tougher Universal requirements for continuity and full service.  Enterprise offerors must bid a core set of IP or wireless services to a specified geographic profile.   Using the above entry criteria, service providers meet the program goal for alternative providers.  It also fulfills the need to open Networx to relatively smaller, non-traditional IP or wireless technology providers that can offer innovative solutions to meet the government's increasingly complex needs. 

Networx Enterprise will result in multiple awards and may include opportunities to offer services not offered  by the Networx Universal supplier(s): however, many services in Networx Enterprise will be the same as those services in Networx Universal.

Networx Enterprise suppliers will not be required to bid to the range of services and geographic coverage requirements of Universal.  The Government will establish minimum entry criteria for Networx Enterprise. The acquisition will seek best value, leading-edge solutions from suppliers who, at the time of the acquisition, may not be able to offer the broad service coverage and full range of services required in Networx Universal.

No MRG targets have been developed, the Government anticipates relatively small MRGs for Networx Enterprise.

Below are the services that vendors will be expected to offer if they are to bid on Enterprise.  Mandatory services are listed with asterisks on both sides of them.  The optional services DO NOT have asterisks.
