In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by VA to form a binding contract. The purpose of this RFI is to identify qualified Contractors, who can meet VA requirements for voice services solution. Any contract/order that might be awarded based on information received or derived from this market research will be the outcome of the competitive process. The purpose of this RFI is to obtain market information on capable sources of supply, industry practices, and input specific to the information provided. VA is not responsible for any cost incurred by industry in furnishing this information. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested vendor's expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future Request for Proposal (RFP), if any is issued. Any information submitted by respondents to this RFI is strictly voluntary.

Scope of Work VA s goal is to transition all its contracted telecommunications voice services and features currently provided on the Networx, WITS3, and Regional GSA contracts onto a new contract vehicle. This effort shall be a like-for-like transition (except for Audio Conferencing Service (ACS)) meaning that where a technology exists today, it will transition to a like technology provided by the prospective Contractor. For ACS, VA is planning to transition from a hardware based solution to a fully managed service. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, transportation, equipment, tools, materials, supplies, installation, management, supervision, engineering, maintenance, testing, and services necessary to perform all requirements listed below. It is VA s desire to make one award to a vendor who can accomplish tasks 2.1-2.12. If a single vendor cannot meet the requirements of carrier redundancy at specific sites VA may issue a second award to cover these services.
