Local Telecommunications Service

The United States Property and Fiscal Office for Ohio requires a vendor to provide local telecommunications service to the government authority located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The agency is seeking a resilient Public Switched Telephone Network access solution utilizing an IP-based voice transport platform to enable access to bi-directional and worldwide phone networks. This solution must solve the agency's need for secure, redundant voice interconnection by delivering services to two geographically separate demarcation points. The scope of work covers the provision of all necessary transmission facilities, equipment, materials, maintenance, and engineering. The requested services include Direct Inward Dialing, Direct Outward Dialing, Caller-ID Delivery of Name and Number, emergency 911 and E911 alternate routing, and Government Emergency Telecommunications Service access. Additionally, the agency requires national and international dialing capabilities, call blocking for the 900 NPA and third-party billing, toll-free access, automatic trunk group routing, alternate route selection, billing and call rating, and customer service records and reporting. All IP voice traffic must route over a private, vendor-managed VPN between the installation and the commercial voice platform, with all services terminating at the government demarcation points as T1/PRI circuits. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The performance of the work will take place offsite. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget, and key dates are not specified in the source.
