Description

Wireless Services- Request for Information This RFI is for planning purposes only and shall not be considered an Invitation for Bids, Request for Quotations, or a Request for Proposal. Additionally, there is no obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services described in this RFI. Your response to this RFI will be treated only as information for the Government to consider. You will not be entitled to payment for direct or indirect costs that you incur in responding to this RFI. This request does not constitute a solicitation for proposals or the authority to enter into negotiations to award a contract. No funds have been authorized, appropriated or received for this effort. The information provided may be used by the VA in developing its acquisition strategy and Performance Work Statement. Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary, restricted or competition sensitive information contained in their response. The Government does not intend to pay for the information submitted in response to this RFI. The Integrated Campus Support division is responsible for providing wireless communication devices to a geographically diverse customer base. Currently we have contracts with several wireless providers. The number of devices in service will fluctuate based on the needs of our customers; at this time we are supporting 300 Blackberry Personal Digital Assistants and 520 Wireless Data Cards. All of these devices are capable of being used on a 3G/4G network. Additionally, we receive the devices at no additional charge when a new account is established or the equipment is upgraded every 18 months. If a new device is required for an existing account, the device will be purchased by the Government. We are looking for a single source that can supply devices and wireless service on multiple wireless networks. Currently we have customers in the 48 Contiguous States, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. The service to these customers must be uninterrupted during any transition period. We have difficulty with carrier coverage in the following areas and their suburbs: West Palm Beach, Florida; Orlando, Florida; Martinsburg, West Virginia; Wynantskill, New York; Fort Worth, Texas; Marlboro, New Jersey; and Sandy, Utah. If a customer's coverage on one wireless network does not allow them to operate their wireless device you must be able to switch them to another wireless network at no additional cost to the Government. Please provide a statement of capabilities that includes a description of the capabilities/qualifications/skills your company possesses to perform this work. The following information must be provided along with your statement of capabilities: Name of Company - Include company size and status information with your submission.
