Mobile Phone and Data Services

The government authority located in Washington, DC, is seeking mobile phone and data services to support its operations. The agency needs to establish reliable communication channels for its personnel, specifically requiring coverage that includes extensive local calling, messaging, and data usage in Senegal. To solve this communication need, the agency is procuring both post-paid and prepaid service rate subscriptions structured to accommodate a specific volume of users over a twelve-month period. The scope of work covers two primary subscription plans. Post-paid Service Rate Subscription Plan A must include a basic monthly package per phone featuring a minimum of 900 minutes of local calls to all numbers in Senegal, 100 local SMS, and 25 GB of data with options for topping up or data pooling. This post-paid plan requires a volume of 2400 months, calculated for 200 users over 12 months, and will be billed at a monthly fixed rate per phone. Post-paid Plan B covers consumption beyond the basic package, requiring unit pricing for an estimated 200,000 seconds of local calls billed per second, 100,000 local SMS billed per SMS, and 100,000 Mo of data billed per Mo. The agency also requires a Prepaid Service Rate Subscription Plan structured at a monthly fixed rate. This prepaid plan must support a volume of 1900 months for 160 users' phones and will be billed monthly. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires all work to be performed offsite, meaning the selected provider must conduct all operations and service management from their own office location. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is currently looking for proposals to determine the cost. Information regarding specific evaluation criteria and key dates is not provided in the procurement details.
