Avaya Phones - OCTO - FY15 - IT Group

The District of Columbia's Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) is seeking procurement for Avaya Phones for the IT Group in fiscal year 2015, with a contract opportunity focused on telecommunications equipment and related services. The solicitation was initially posted on November 26, 2014, with a response deadline of December 3, 2014, indicating a relatively short procurement timeline. While specific technical details are limited in the provided information, the contract appears to target the acquisition and potentially installation of Avaya phone systems for the district's information technology infrastructure. The procurement seems to be a targeted technology refresh or expansion of existing communication systems within the municipal government's IT environment. The contract opportunity suggests a focused procurement process specifically for communication technology equipment, likely involving specific technical specifications, compatibility requirements, and potential integration with existing municipal telecommunications networks.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations based on the provided information. Without additional context, it is unclear whether the procurement includes provisions for disadvantaged business enterprises or specific vendor qualifications beyond standard municipal contracting requirements. The absence of budget range or award value details prevents a precise estimation of the contract's financial scope. No incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements are mentioned in the available documentation. Given the procurement is for the District of Columbia's Office of the Chief Technology Officer, standard municipal procurement protocols are likely applicable, which typically involve comprehensive vendor vetting, technical compliance verification, and potential competitive bidding processes. The focused nature of the procurement—Avaya Phones for the IT Group—suggests a targeted, potentially specialized technology acquisition aligned with the district's specific communication infrastructure needs.
