    The Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD) is seeking contractors to provide Centrex analog voice services and a one Gigabit MPLS circuit with SIP voice services to facilitate the transition from TDM to an IP-based communication system. The contract will cover a base year and an option year, focusing on delivering local exchange carrier telephone service and establishing a secure MPLS circuit for voice managed over a VPN. Key requirements include supporting various telephony features, providing ongoing support for 24/7 operation, configuring SIP trunks for 4000 Direct Inward Dial (DID) numbers, and accommodating up to 400 concurrent calls. The transition plan includes collaboration for porting existing phone numbers to the new system, while the work will be based at NSWC PHD in California. Primary contacts for the project are designated personnel within the organization, and all documentation must be delivered in English. This effort aligns with federal objectives to modernize communication infrastructure while ensuring compliance with applicable telecommunications regulations.
    The Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division is seeking quotes for 12 months of commercial landline services under solicitation number N6339425Q0001, posted on October 22, 2024, with a response deadline of November 12, 2024. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 517111 and is intended for firm-fixed-price contracts without set-asides for small businesses. Vendors must submit quotes in PDF format via email, including administrative information such as CAGE code, DUNS number, and pricing details showing total costs, shipping, and lead time. Evaluation of quotes will focus on the lowest price meeting acceptable technical criteria and past performance evaluated on a pass/fail basis. The document outlines the compliance requirements for contractors, including various FAR provisions and clauses, emphasizing adherence to regulations regarding veteran employment reports and electronic invoicing through the Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) system. Amendments and updates to the requirements will be posted on Beta.Sam for interested vendors. This procurement reflects the government's ongoing partnership with commercial entities for essential services while ensuring compliance with federal contracting guidelines.
    The document discusses the justification for a sole-source procurement by the Navy Sea Systems Command's Warfare Center (NSWC PHD) for telecommunications services during a transition from traditional Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology, anticipated to conclude by 2026. AT&T is currently managing this transition and owns the existing infrastructure, making it impractical for any other service provider to maintain seamless operations without incurring substantial costs estimated at $2.4 million. A Sources Sought Notice was issued, receiving only AT&T’s response, confirming their capability to fulfill the requirements. The contracting officer concluded the anticipated costs for services were fair and reasonable. To promote future competition, the agreement is structured with a one-year base period and a one-year option period. NSWC PHD remains open to assessing potential sources for future services as needed, reflecting an ongoing commitment to competition despite the immediate need for continuity in telecommunications services. This document is contextually significant in the realm of government procurement, particularly under the frameworks of RFPs and grants, emphasizing the necessity for budgetary prudence and service reliability during technological transitions.
