Request for Qualified Contractors (RFQC): Commonwealth Telecommunications Services Acquisition

[28 Pa.B. 4580]

   The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is seeking to conduct the most comprehensive and complete Telecommunications Services Acquisition in its history. All Commonwealth Telecommunications Services (CTS) used by State government agencies will be brought together in this single acquisition. The CTS will include basic digital transport, voice, data, video and Internet access telecommunications services, together with the appropriate support infrastructures. This acquisition process has been specifically designed to encourage the best and the most innovative service providers to seek out new and innovative solutions.

   The primary mission of this acquisition process is to acquire reliable and cost effective telecommunication services to serve better the State Government. It is also anticipated that local governments, schools, as well as the general public will benefit from the expansion of telecommunications services throughout the State. To conduct this acquisition, the Commonwealth will use a much more flexible, and we believe, a more appropriate process, which we have termed a Request for Qualified Contractors (RFQC) process.

   The Request for Qualified Contractors will be issued in the near future. Telecommunications Service vendors, and others, interested in receiving an announcement of its release should either email, fax, or mail their request (email preferred) to the Issuing Office: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, OA/OIT, Room 310 Finance Building, Harrisburg, PA 17120, Att: Nicholas Giordano, Fax: 717-787-0939, Internet: cts_email@state.pa.us

   Please provide a complete organization name and the name of the individual within the organization who should receive the announcement, along with a complete mailing address, and if available, a telephone number, fax number and an Internet email address. The announcement will provide the date of availability, and information concerning the various methods for obtaining a complete document with detailed appendices on electronic media (CD-ROM).

   When the RFQC is released, the text document will be available over the Internet through the Pennsylvania State government home page (web address www.state.pa.us, search under ''Technology''). The detailed appendices containing all of the locations and individual service requirements per location will, however, only be available on CD-ROM. When the RFQC is released, receipt of the CD-ROM may be requested through the web site.

   For those without access to the Internet, the announcement of release will provide information on how to obtain printed copies of appropriate material. In addition, the announcement sent to those responding to this notice will also provide information on alternative methods for obtaining the CD-ROM.
