Description
The 19th Communications Squadron at Little Rock Air Force Base is seeking a sole‑source award to Blue Plains for a complete engineering, furnishing, installation, and testing (EFI&T) of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based local/long‑distance telephone communications system to replace the existing TDM infrastructure. The contractor must leverage BrightSpeed’s proprietary network, for which Blue Plains is the exclusive authorized SIP service provider. The solicitation is not a competitive RFP; however, interested parties may submit capability statements by the deadline. The effort will modernize the base’s telephony, ensuring continuity of service while transitioning to SIP.
• Replace TDM telephone services with SIP‑compatible local and long‑distance services.
• Engineer, furnish, install, and test the new SIP solution.
• Integrate with existing BrightSpeed fiber/copper infrastructure at LRAFB.
• Provide minimal downtime and mimic current service functionality.
• Submissions due 5 Sept 2026, 10:00 AM CDT.
