Question 1: Is there a current incumbent for this contract? If so, could you provide their name and the contract number?
Answer 1: ATT is the incumbent and the contract # W50S872290001 & Bridge Contract W50S8725PA002
Question 2: What is the total number of local minutes used on average over a four-month period?

Question 3: What is the total number of long-distance minutes used on average over a four-month period?
Answer 3: 6500 avg per month or 26,000 avg over 4-month period
Question 4: What is the total number of international minutes used on average over a four-month period?
Answer 4: International call minutes are included in the overall long-distance average. A recent four-month review revealed an average of approximately 60 OCONUS calling minutes per month. We anticipate this usage will fluctuate based on global events and the upcoming discontinuation of DSN services.
Question 5: Please confirm the required number of SIP trunk ports/channels is 23.
Answer 5: Yes, 23
Question 6: Please confirm the total number of DIDs is 860.
Answer 6: Yes, confirmed
Question 7: What is the total number of endpoints/phones provisioned on the system that will require 911 provisioning?
Answer 7: We are a trunk based private branch exchange with about 1000 voice numbers all outgoing calls are routed to a local trunk T1/E1 to comply with kari's law, all emergency 911 calls shall be routed to the local trunk then to the designated PSAP.
Question 8: PWS, 6.4.3; Will you need more than 24 call paths to accommodate long distance?
Answer 8: No
Question 9: PWS 6.2; DID 860, but the current account has 660. Do you want an additional DID priced out?
Answer 9: We currently have 660 and want to maintain those. We want to add an additional 200 for a total of 860.
Question 10: PWS, 6.13 LD & Intl; recommends a separate CLIN for overages and INTL. Do you have any idea at this point current usage?
Answer 10: We currently use on average 6500 LD minutes per month. This includes international;
however, international makes up for around 45-60 minutes a month. International charges will vary depending on world events and mission requirements. Furthermore, we project a slight increase in LD going forward due to DSN service changes. The NTE amount for that CLIN should support any overages and international charges that would be incurred.
