INTRODUCTION 1.1. Objective. The government intends to maintain existing Local Telecommunication Services (LTS) services currently delivered with a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)–based solution. However, the SIP service must include emulated TDM output so that it remains compatible with government-owned legacy equipment that still expects TDM signaling. All connectivity requirements and features currently transported over the existing LSTDM must be migrated without loss of capabilities. This LTS will support the installation 24 hours a day/seven days a week/365 days a year (24/7/365). 1.2. Background. The Department of Defense (DoW) Chief Information Officer (CIO) has mandated all LSTDM transport technologies used for mission-related tasks be retired and replaced with IP based technologies. This is due to commercial support and hardware for LSTDM equipment being more difficult to find or phased out entirely. Due to changes in technology, equipment, and processes, it has become evident that the Government should acquire these services in a performance-based manner, consistent with the principles contained in Air Force Instruction (AFI) 63-138 “Acquisition of Services.” These services are considered Information Technology (IT) In Accordance With (IAW) Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 239.74 “Telecommunications Services.” The requirement herein represents the site’s performance-based requirements for local, long-distance “dial-tone” and ancillary services as defined herein. As a part of the new process, the Air Force (AF) encourages the Contractor to identify or suggest improvements to existing LTS processes, operating procedures, systems, or applications to the Contracting Officer (CO). 2. SCOPE The Contractor shall provide all labor, tools, facilities, materials, and services needed to perform and provide local access to the designated circuit demarcation point(s) identified in Appendix 1 to this PWS. These services shall include any equipment, wiring, or infrastructure to ensure the Contractor’s proposed solution is compatible with the Government’s current infrastructure without additional Government expense. Access to the local exchange shall also include operator assistance functions. These services shall not include residential or business services for non-Government entities or Government contractors. The Contractor shall follow all Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Public Utility Commission (PUC), Department of War (DoW), AF, and industry standards for this requirement. The Contractor shall provide and install transmission equipment and cables for local exchange access and trans…
