P02 - Attachment 1 Market Research Workbook for SDPs.xlsx

This is a Market Research Workbook for Service Delivery Points (SDPs) that documents telecommunications service requirements across the Department of Veterans Affairs enterprise. The workbook provides a comprehensive inventory of 157 VA facilities across multiple states (primarily concentrated in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions) requiring Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) services. Offerors must indicate yes or no responses for each facility's ability to provide required services in Column K, with the workbook automatically calculating total affirmative responses, negative responses, and blank entries. The VA requires a total of 2,571 service instances across the listed SDPs, including 1,469 POTS Line Flat Rate/ePOTS lines as the primary requirement, supplemented by 131 PRI circuits, 195 three-way calling features, 170 voicemail features, 132 call waiting features, and various other telecommunications features such as caller ID, call forwarding, call blocking, and call hunting capabilities.

The workbook specifies that telecommunications services must be provided 24 hours per day, seven days per week with maximum service availability. The effort is classified under NAICS code 517111 (Wired Telecommunication Carriers). Major VA facilities included in the inventory include multiple VAMCs (VA Medical Centers), VAROs (VA Regional Offices), CBOCs (Community Based Outpatient Clinics), and Vet Centers across Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Virginia. The market research document serves as the basis for the Pre-Solicitation RFI (Solicitation Number 36C10B26Q0588) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center in Austin, and is intended for information and planning purposes only without constituting a formal solicitation or binding contract obligation.
