Telecommunications Services RFSQ 2026

The County of Los Angeles, Internal Services Department is conducting a Request for Sealed Quotation (RFSQ) to establish Master Agreements with qualified telecommunications service providers for six service categories: Data Network Services, Secure Web Gateway Services, UC Cloud VoIP Services, Cloud Contact Center Services, Legacy Services, and SMS Outbound Text Message Solutions. Vendors may submit quotations for one or more service categories based on their capabilities and experience. The Master Agreements will govern the provision of essential telecommunications services to support County operations across multiple departments and facilities on an as-needed basis. Prospective vendors must meet specified technical qualifications, demonstrate relevant service experience, provide competitive pricing, and satisfy the County's security and compliance standards for telecommunications infrastructure. The evaluation criteria include technical qualifications, service experience, pricing competitiveness, and the vendor's ability to meet County security and compliance requirements. The solicitation was posted on February 18, 2026, with a proposal due date of February 23, 2025 (note: there appears to be a typographical error in the posting date relative to the due date). Vendors must submit all required forms as specified in Appendix B, including compliance certifications, insurance documentation, and administrative submissions necessary to establish bidder qualifications.

The County requires submission of a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) form as a mandatory compliance document, indicating the County's commitment to supporting certified business enterprises and supplier diversity in its procurement processes. The solicitation references an incumbent contractors list identifying existing service providers currently supporting the County's telecommunications operations, which prospective vendors should review to understand the existing service environment and competitive landscape. Vendors responding to this solicitation must comply with all terms outlined in the exhibits, particularly Appendix D, which contains detailed service category descriptions, technical specifications, and service level agreements governing the relationship between the County and selected providers. The Master Agreement structure allows the County to leverage qualified vendors across multiple service categories to optimize costs and consolidate services. Specific budget ranges or contract award values are not detailed in the available solicitation summaries; however, interested parties should consult the complete RFSQ package and Appendix D for comprehensive pricing terms, contract value information, and detailed funding source documentation.
