About this opportunity
The Department of the Army National Guard, specifically the Wisconsin Air National Guard at Truax Field in Madison, WI, is seeking sources capable of converting existing Local Telecommunication Services from low-speed time-division multiplexed (LSTDM) circuits to Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunks. The primary objective is to migrate all current connectivity requirements and features without any loss of capability, supporting a 24/7/365 telecommunications infrastructure. Interested companies must submit a response email by February 27, 2025, with the subject line "Sources Sought W50S9F25Q0001" and include their firm's name, Unique Entity Identifier, socioeconomic status, point of contact information, and a one-page narrative demonstrating capabilities and experience with SIP conversions. The government will evaluate responses based on the contractor's ability to perform the specific telecommunications service requirements. This sources sought notice is for information and planning purposes, and the government is not currently seeking quotes, bids, or proposals.
The procurement does not have a specific set-aside designation, and no incumbent contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The contract will support approximately 500 Direct-Inward-Dialing numbers in the 608-245-4300 to 4799 range, with a required service availability of 99.9%. The telecommunications service must be compatible with the existing Avaya PBX running CM8.1 and Avaya Session Border Controllers, located in Building 505 at 3110 Mitchell St. in Madison. The contractor will be required to provide equipment installation in a 4U standard 19" rack space and maintain strict outage response times across four priority levels, ranging from 1-hour response for catastrophic issues to 2-day restoration for routine matters. While no specific budget range is provided, the contract will involve complex telecommunications infrastructure conversion and ongoing service provision for the Air National Guard facility.
Notice text
This is a Sources Sought to identify sources capable and willing to perform this requirement.
The Wisconsin Air National Guard at Truax Field in Madison, WI requires a contractor able to re-home existing Local Telecommunication Services (LTS) that are currently provided on a low-speed time-division multiplexed (LSTDM) circuit with one provided using session initiation protocol (SIP) trunks. All connectivity requirements and features currently transported over the existing LSTDM must be migrated over so that transition can occur without any loss of capability. Truax Field ANGB has on-premises session border controllers (SBCs) and private branch exchange (PBX), so managed SBCs and managed PBX are out of scope. The government Avaya SBCs running v8.1 and an Avaya PBX running CM8.1 will be used. This LTS will support the installation 24 hours a day/seven days a week/365 days a year (24/7/365).
