About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is procuring commercially available integrated, switched voice and data telecommunications services via Central Office-based dial tone facilities for Naval Air Station (NAS) Key West, Florida and surrounding areas. This procurement requires the contractor to engineer, furnish, install, and test a turn-key IP-based telephone solution supporting approximately 1,253 core users at NAS Key West, with an additional separately priced requirement for approximately 757 users at the Joint Interagency Task Force (JIATF) South that will transition off the contract by September 30, 2026. Key contract requirements include maintaining approximately 2,000 telephone numbers within the 305-293 exchange, providing reserved telephone numbers, IP-based calling infrastructure, local and long-distance service access, E911 and E988 service routing, comprehensive Class of Service capabilities, hosted voicemail and auto-attendant services, SIP technology implementation, JITC certification, Information Assurance accreditation, and compliance with DoD Unified Communications Requirements and Security Technical Implementation Guides. The Government will award the contract on a firm fixed-price basis to the responsible offeror whose quote represents the best value, with price as the primary evaluation factor. Quotes are due by April 30, 2026 at 12:00 AM Eastern Time and must be submitted electronically to the designated contracting personnel.
This solicitation is being issued as a sole source bridge contract to AT&T (BellSouth Telecommunications, LLC), with no set-aside designation despite an initial reference to a Women-Owned Small Business set-aside in the RFQ documents. The incumbent contractor AT&T currently owns all termination equipment, buildings housing equipment, and the Outside Cable Plant providing electronic delivery of commercial telephony services. The bridge contract covers an eight-month base period from June 1, 2026 through January 31, 2027, with an optional four-month extension from February 1, 2027 through May 31, 2027, and the contract will be performed at Naval Air Station Key West, Florida 33040. The base year requirement includes eight months of service delivery for both the general NAS Key West facility and separate JIATF operations, with pricing evaluated for both the base year and option year periods. The bridge contract is necessary because the prior GSA contract is expiring and the telecommunications industry is discontinuing support for the legacy analog Centrex technology currently provided, while a new competitive procurement based on internet-based telecommunications technology cannot be completed before the existing contract terminates.
