This is a Project Description document for NEC Legacy PBX Removal Services, a secondary competition Purchase Order Request for Proposal (PORFP) administered by the State of Maryland. The project involves the removal of legacy NEC Private Branch Exchange (PBX) telecommunications equipment from state facilities. This opportunity is limited to Master Contractors who have been awarded contracts under the PBX IV - Telecommunications Equipment and Services Master Contract (001B0600162). The scope of work encompasses the complete removal, disconnection, and proper disposal or decommissioning of NEC PBX systems, including associated cabling, hardware, and ancillary equipment. The project requires qualified contractors to provide labor, equipment, and materials necessary for safe and compliant removal operations, with work to be performed at multiple state locations as determined by individual purchase orders issued under this secondary competition.

The procurement structure establishes a competitive bidding process exclusively for existing Master Contract holders, ensuring vendors have demonstrated capability and prior experience in telecommunications infrastructure work. Pricing will be submitted on a competitive basis through the PORFP process, with individual purchase orders issued based on specific facility requirements and removal scopes. This secondary competition allows the state to leverage its existing master contract framework while maintaining competitive pricing and service quality. The contract award and subsequent purchase orders will be contingent upon demonstrated qualifications, pricing competitiveness, and the vendor's ability to meet state requirements for equipment removal, environmental compliance, and project documentation standards.
