RFI for Commercial Local and Long-Distance Telecommunications Services

The Alaska-based government authority is seeking information to secure commercial local, long-distance, international, and toll-free telecommunications services. The agency requires a solution that maintains and troubleshoots long-distance and local circuits up to their termination points. This system must handle highly variable numbers of concurrent phone calls and allow for load-balancing of inbound and outbound calls to address capacity usage and system-availability issues. The scope of work addresses potential loss or degradation to single or multiple session initiation protocol (SIP) trunks, including supporting systems infrastructure, wireline and fiber infrastructure, and delivery systems regardless of location. Only onshore organizations based in the United States are eligible to submit responses for this opportunity. The selected provider will perform all work offsite, and the agency is accepting digital submissions via email or online. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and financial parameters for this project. The source document does not specify key dates or detailed evaluation criteria for this request for information. Bidders must demonstrate their capability to meet these telecommunications and infrastructure maintenance requirements within the United States.
