As part of this process, we are seeking information about small businesses that are capable of providing the services. Please note that this is a market survey for informational purposes only and is not a Request for Proposals (RFP). There is no solicitation document available; no contract will be awarded based on this announcement; no reimbursement will be made for costs associated with responding to this announcement; and no telephone calls about this announcement will be accepted or acknowledged. All responses must be submitted via e-mail in accordance with the instructions that follow. EOUSA operates an enterprise-class Broadsoft Broadworks-based voice over IP (VoIP) telephony and Unified Communications (UC) solution for the ninety-four (94) United States Attorneys Districts, EOUSA, and other Department of Justice (DOJ) Components, filling a critical business requirement to provide reliable voice communications services. The USAVoice system is comprised of core and edge systems that provide mission-critical voice services to the United States Attorneys Offices (USAO) and DOJ Component users. The USAVoice core systems consist of georedundant Broadsoft BroadWorks softswitches and Unified Communications (UC) components, Oracle/Acme high availability (HA) and standalone session border controllers (SBCs), Zervina CPE management systems, and SIP call recording systems for call centers. Core systems are located in 2 datacenters. Primary production BroadWorks, Oracle/Acme SBC, Zervina and Audiocodes systems are located in Sterling, VA, and secondary production systems are currently located in Columbia, SC. As a result of the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (FDCCI), some existing core USAVoice equipment may be relocated during the term of this contract to a DOJ data center designated as a Core Enterprise Facility (CEF). Edge components consist of Edgemarc SIP gateways, Audiocodes PSTN and analog gateways, Polycom IP phones, and Broadsoft UC soft phone clients. Core USAVoice systems support approximately 27,000 subscriber seats and process over 6 million calls per month. Edge devices are deployed in over 250 geographically dispersed USAO and DOJ Component locations to provide local survivability. Development, user acceptance test (UAT), and production lab systems, which replicate core and edge configurations, are currently maintained in EOUSA's Washington, DC offices.

Capable vendors must have the ability to provide industry and subject matter expertise, experience, and insight in the areas of enterprise VoIP, telecommunications, and unified communications solutions and solution components. Existing USAVoice system architecture and configuration is balanced between vendor-recommended and industry standard best practices, and USAO organizational needs, security requirements, risk assessment results, and other business drivers.
