94102-3434 58 -- LOCAL TELEPHONE SERVICES POC Jo Ann Lew, Contracting Officer,
(415) 522-4550. GSA, FTS, Region 9, is seeking information about
telecommunications services being offered by the new, "alternate" or
"competitive" local exchange carriers within the states of California,
Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, and U.S. possessions and territories in the
Pacific Rim. The presence of competition in the market for local
exchange services is creating an opportunity for GSA to potentially
realize savings in the procurement of these services and to have local
exchange services packaged with other services and equipment to create
new programs and services for GSA's customers. Information is requested
about the availability of local telephone exchange services access,
long distance commercial access, access to the Federal Government long
distance network (FTS2000), local access trunking such as DID and DOD
trunks, transport channel services, inter-system connection,
Centrex-like and other value added services to include volume
discounts, automatic number identification (ANI) to FTS2000, call trace
on internal and external calls, and Caller ID blocking. Responses
should include information about the specific geographic locations,
services available, and rates. Currently there are 64 GSA locations
being served by PBX's and/or Centrex services. The vendor shall provide
number portability for the current exchange DID numbers. Requirements
for new numbers shall be within the existing NXX until exhausted. The
vendor shall have the capability to acquire additional DID station
numbers. Access to the local exchange shall include emergency 911
services and functions, access to directory number information, e.g.,
NPA-555-1212 or 411, and access to operator services. There are
approximately 55,000 lines in Region 9's geographical area of
responsibility. Interested vendors should furnish detailed technical
data concerning their capabilities, pricelists, and any approved tariff
rates. Information should be submitted in writing, 3 copies minimum, to
the contracting officer by February 5, 1996. (0352) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0175 19961219\58-0006.SOL)
