E-MAIL: DSL Services RFP, brian.soika@mail.house.gov. The House of Representatives is seeking interested and capable vendors to compete for the award of a contract(s) for a limited pilot program to study the potential of introducing data services based on Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology to the House of Representatives. Potential offerors should be aware that this procurement supports only a pilot program designed to evaluate the services as part of the on-going effort to enhance the quality of data communications (specifically as they relate to Member District office and other fixed remote locations) at the House in the rapidly changing IT market. This RFP and the resulting pilot will evaluate the applicability of the technology, administrative burden of a potential follow-on, larger-scale program, potential service and support issues and challenges, and financial benefits for the House. The primary goal is to offer a reliable, robust, faster and less expensive method of data exchange between Capitol Hill and Member of Congress District offices.
