RFI for Local and Long-Distance Telecommunications Service

The Alaska-based government authority is seeking information to secure comprehensive local, long-distance, international, and toll-free telecommunications services. The agency needs to solve capacity usage and system-availability issues by implementing a solution that allows for the load-balancing of inbound and outbound calls. To achieve this, the selected provider must deliver all necessary transmission facilities, equipment, materials, maintenance, test equipment, and design layouts to establish these services at designated demarcation points. Eligible respondents must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires the performance of all work to take place offsite. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget for this project. The source document does not specify key dates or detailed evaluation criteria for this request for information.
