D -- POTENTIAL SOURCES SOUGHT POC Contact Alex J. Lau, (808) 471-2514, ext 234 New Sources Sought: During the calendar quarter ended 30 June 1996, the Defense Information Technology Contracting Office-Pacific (DITCO- PAC) contracted with suppliers of communications services (generally common commercial carriers) on behalf of Department and Agencies within the Department of Defense, the Federal Aviation Administration and various other Government agencies for lease of communications services and equipment at locations within the State of Hawaii and within the Pacific area. The service requirements include a wide spectrum of communications services, ranging from narrow band (voice grade) to wideband (56 KBPS and greater) voice and data, switched and dedicated services and equipment. These leased services are generally point-to-point dedicated private line communications with two (2) service terminals located on military or other Government property. To the maximum extent possible, DITCO leases all components of each individual telecommunications service requirement (including transmission facilities and customer premise equipment) from a single source. During the past quarter approximately 103 services were awarded. The average monthly recurring charge per award was $277. Based on an average service life of 60 months, the average life cycle cost of each award was $16,620. During the next calendar quarter, a similar level of contracting activity is expected. DITCO-PAC desires to expand its current list of available sources having the experience and resources necessary to successfully compete for and perform under new contracts for delivery of these types of services.
