About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The City of Phoenix Finance Central Procurement Department issued RFI 26-0508 on June 29, 2026 to gather market intelligence on telecom line audit and optimization services, with responses due August 7, 2026. This is a planning and discovery tool only — explicitly not a formal solicitation, with no purchase obligation or vendor pre-qualification resulting from participation.

The City seeks vendor offerings to review legacy telecommunications services across over 460 facilities spanning 520 square miles and reduce costs through optimization. The audit scope encompasses nearly 2,000 legacy services, including POTS, ISDN, analog private lines, and T1 lines. Vendors must provide inventory databases, service categorization, identification of discrepancies, and optimization recommendations including unused line identification and cost-cutting methods. The City is particularly interested in contingency-based or performance-based pricing models where vendor compensation is contingent upon achieved savings.

Vendor responses should address methodology for establishing accurate inventories, billing reconciliation approaches, legacy line rationalization processes, required client coordination levels, tools and analytics platforms utilized, shared-savings verification methods, and team expertise in legacy service rationalization. Responses must be submitted electronically through the City's OpenGov e-Procurement Portal as a PDF containing a one-page signed cover letter on company letterhead and responses to contractor questions totaling no more than 100 double-sided pages; sales materials do not count toward the page limit. All submitted materials become public record under Arizona State law, though vendors may designate specific sections as confidential.

Inquiries are due July 17, 2026 at 2:00 PM Arizona time. The vendor is responsible for all costs associated with response development and any requested demonstrations, which will not be reimbursed by the City.
