About this opportunity
The Bureau of Reclamation, a civilian agency within the Department of the Interior, issued this Special Notice on January 27, 2026, to seek market information regarding local and long-distance landline telephone services. The notice is not a solicitation or Request for Quote but rather a sources sought inquiry to identify potential vendors and inform the agency's acquisition strategy. The Bureau of Reclamation requires telephone service providers capable of serving five California locations: Folsom, New Melones Recreational Office, New Melones Power Plant, Lake Berryessa, and Nimbus Dam. This market research effort will assist the agency in determining qualified sources and may influence future competition and set-aside decisions. All responses to this notice are purely informational and do not obligate the government to award any contract.
Interested vendors must submit responses by February 11, 2026, including a capability statement that demonstrates their ability to meet stated requirements. Respondents should provide evidence of previous experience with similar scope and scale, personnel qualifications, and prime or subcontractor experience, along with their business size status and applicable certifications such as small business, 8(a), HUBZone, women-owned, small disadvantaged business, or veteran-owned designations. The underlying performance work statement details a Firm-Fixed Price contract with a base period from May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027, and four option years extending through April 30, 2031, requiring 365-day, 24-hour service coverage with scheduled maintenance available Monday through Friday between 0730 and 1500 hours. Contractors must transfer 31 existing analog phone numbers from the current carrier and provide both voice and data service lines with extensions to support internal and external calling capabilities. All interested parties must submit responses to any subsequent formal solicitation published on sam.gov, as no reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with responding to this sources sought notice.
