About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of State's Consulate General in Hermosillo, Mexico, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Telefonos de Mexico S.A.B. de CV (TELMEX) for SIP Circuit and VoIP Telephone Service at the new consulate compound. The procurement covers a 12-month period from February 25, 2025, through February 24, 2026, with an estimated cost of $31,220.00 for a new SIP circuit and 20 analog telephone lines. The sole-source justification is based on TELMEX's unique proprietary infrastructure that can provide full reliability for telephone services without using media converters that might degrade service quality. While other telecommunications providers exist in the region, TELMEX is considered the only vendor capable of meeting the specific technical requirements, and they are the incumbent provider currently supplying the E1 circuit and multipair cable for existing lines. The contract (19MX5725P0024) is being awarded without competitive proposals due to TELMEX's exclusive capabilities and the telecommunications regulatory environment in Mexico.
