Local and Long-Distance Telecommunication Services

The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is seeking capabilities statements for local and long-distance telecommunication services at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina. As outlined in the attached Performance Work Statement, the contractor must provide local access and SIP trunk services to support 186 concurrent voice calls along with 8000 DID numbers, public telephone listings, and annual electronic telephone directories. The equipment installed must be compatible with the base's Cisco gateway and session border controller. Interested parties should respond by April 12th demonstrating their ability to meet the requirements in the attached PWS, which will be used as the evaluation criteria.

The NAICS code for this requirement is 517810 with a size standard of $40 million. While no set-aside is currently designated, the Government will consider setting aside a subsequent solicitation for small businesses based on the responses received. The PWS specifies requirements for local circuits, locations, and concurrent call quantities to support the base along with defined performance standards for availability, outage response, and notification timelines that will be monitored.
