This is Bid Amendment #4 to Bid Solicitation #25DPP01033 issued by the New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property, for telecommunications equipment and services (T1316). The amendment extends the quote submission deadline from July 25, 2025 to August 28, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The underlying solicitation covers IP PBX systems, hosted services including Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) and Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS), and ancillary equipment with associated labor and maintenance services for state agencies. The procurement seeks multiple vendors to provide comprehensive telecommunications solutions, with potential cooperative purchasing options available for local governments and school districts. Vendors must submit percentage discounts off manufacturer price lists for equipment and fixed hourly rates for labor categories.

The original solicitation required vendors to demonstrate compliance with extensive security requirements, including SOC2 Type II audit reports and adherence to the state's Statewide Information Security Manual. Small Business and Disabled Veteran-Owned Business subcontracting set-asides are included in the contract structure. Original Equipment Manufacturers may be awarded contracts with authorization to use up to 10 resellers or distributors. The contract is structured as a reprocurement of an existing telecommunications services agreement with a base term of four years and two optional one-year extension periods. Bidders were required to submit electronic questions by February 26, 2025, with answers to be posted in future bid amendments. All other terms and conditions of the original bid solicitation remain unchanged by this amendment.
