LSTDM Circuit to SIP Trunks Conversion & SIP Trunked Telephony Service

This is a Sources Sought to identify sources capable and willing to perform this requirement. The Wisconsin Air National Guard at Truax Field in Madison, WI requires a contractor able to re-home existing Local Telecommunication Services (LTS) that are currently provided on a low-speed time-division multiplexed (LSTDM) circuit with one provided using session initiation protocol (SIP) trunks.

All connectivity requirements and features currently transported over the existing LSTDM must be migrated over so that transition can occur without any loss of capability. Truax Field ANGB has on-premises session border controllers (SBCs) and private branch exchange (PBX), so managed SBCs and managed PBX are out of scope. The government Avaya SBCs running v8.1 and an Avaya PBX running CM8.1 will be used. This LTS will support the installation 24 hours a day/seven days a week/365 days a year (24/7/365).

Review the attached draft PWS for the full requirements of this service. Questions or comments on the PWS are welcome and will be considered when finalizing the PWS.
