IFB - Avaya IP Phones

The District of Columbia's Office of Contracting and Procurement is conducting an Invitation for Bid (IFB) on behalf of the Office of the Chief Technology Officer for Avaya IP telephone sets. This procurement opportunity, identified by the contract ID 66c85f5a829eb5d869075e70, was posted on April 20, 2011, with a bid submission deadline of April 29, 2011. The primary objective is to secure a contractor capable of providing specific Avaya IP telephone sets for municipal government use. The solicitation appears to be a competitive bidding process seeking a vendor who can supply telecommunication equipment directly to the District of Columbia government. Potential bidders will need to demonstrate the ability to deliver the specified Avaya IP phone technology and meet the technical requirements outlined in the procurement documents.

While the provided documentation does not explicitly detail set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions, government procurement opportunities typically have provisions for small, local, or disadvantaged business participation. The procurement does not specify an exact budget range or award value for the IP phone acquisition. The contract appears focused on replacing or upgrading existing telecommunication infrastructure within the District of Columbia's technological ecosystem. Given the specific mention of Avaya IP phones, the procurement suggests a potential replacement or expansion of the current telephony system used by municipal offices. Vendors interested in responding to this opportunity would likely need to provide detailed pricing, technical specifications, and evidence of their capability to supply and potentially install the specified Avaya IP telephone sets.
