Any other items not listed but are needed for the PPN and EPN ends. Only Avaya and authorized Avaya resellers will be considered for award since the EPN must be compatible with the existing Avaya telephone switch. Offerors are to specify on their proposed bill of materials which items are from Avaya?s GSA Schedule Contract No. GS35F4321D and which items are Open Market. Offerors shall also designate which items are refurbished. The provision at FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors?Commercial Items, applies to the Open Market items under this acquisition.

In order for an offeror?s proposal to be evaluated, the offeror must be an authorized Avaya reseller or Avaya itself. 2. The proposed bill of materials making up the proposed EPN must be compatible with FEMA?s existing Avaya telephone switch. 3. The EPN must be shipped as an integrated product.
