This is an unrestricted acquisition with a standard industrial classification code of 4812, the business size standard is 1,500 employees. The Government intends to award a one year plus 4 option years Firm Fixed Price Contract for the delivery and service of CLIN 0001 -- Wireless Telephone Service. Little Rock AFB has a requirement for 200 cellular phones and 150 pagers. The purpose of this contract is to standardize cellular phone and pager instruments as well as consolidate billing practices which include 20,000 minutes per month for all Little Rock AFB cellular phones. Phones shall have access to a large block pool of minutes. Only after all minutes in the block are exhausted should the base begin being billed at per minute rates. Per minute rates over and above the block will be clearly stated. Roaming and long distance charges can be billed separately. Changes will normally be accomplished on a monthly basis. Requests will be grouped together for new starts as well as terminations and will be provided to the vendor on a monthly basis. New starts shall be activated within 5 work days of delivery to vendor. Deactivation of numbers should take place within 3 work days after notice. Cellular phones broken through normal wear and tear shall be replaced with new phones at no cost to the government. Phones broken through misuse will be replaced and billed as a new service start. The vendor will provide a detailed area coverage diagram that clearly shows normal coverage areas as well as areas that are considered roaming and long distance dialing areas. Procedures for obtaining, on an as needed basis, for contingencies and special events, state and nation wide coverage, with the associated costing should be included in the proposal. The vendor will provide the government new equipment or services for all existing equipment or services in the event of significant technology changes at no charge to the government. Significant technology changes include, but are not limited to, significant changes in the size of telephones, significant changes in the scope of coverage, changes in frequency/power of equipment, and significant changes in proposal and may include a group of models. In other words, the government may select models and service packages for specific groups or individuals based on needs. Should these models become obsolete, the vendor will provide the government a choice of replacement models with equal or better features at the same rates. The government reserves the right to accept or reject all changes to service or equipment. Little Rock AFB has invested heavily in the infrastructure to support Motorola products.

The vendor will include a proposed discount to standard commercial prices for additional batteries, vehicle mount antennas, chargers, and other available accessories at the time of bid.

The vendor must provide the government one consolidated monthly bill. The bill will be detailed to include an individual customer account number for each account as specified by the government and each account number will be broken down into each phone's account by numberas specified by the government. Each account number will represent an individual government customer. This account number will reflect customers of the 314th Communication Squadron and accounts will be set up by the government. A list of the account names will be provided to the vendor. The account numbering system will be developed by the vendor and subject to government approval. Each account number may contain any number of phone instruments and each instrument will be separately billed and detailed. The government will provide the account number each phone will be billed against with each activation. The government reserves the right to change the account names and quantities of phones within each account as required.
