AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) plans to award a contract to Telcordia for the acquisition of a specialized data product known as CLONES (Common Language Online Entry System). This system serves as a real-time database containing CLLI codes which identify the types, locations, and ownership of telecommunications network equipment throughout the United States. The data is critical for the GAO to assess the state of facilities-based competition in the special access services market. The contract will cover a base year with one option, and it will be awarded under other than full and open competition, as the GAO has determined that Telcordia is the sole provider of this unique data product, which is not offered by any other vendor. CLONES data is maintained and updated as needed by telecommunications companies that report their equipment locations to the system. This arrangement allows the GAO to efficiently access necessary data without undergoing a lengthy and costly search for alternative sources. The contracting officer overseeing this acquisition is Darion A. Powell at the GAO’s Acquisition Management office in Washington, DC. The contract falls under NAICS code 519190 and was posted on March 22, 2006. The specialized data product is vital to GAO’s mission of evaluating telecommunications market competition and related regulatory matters.

Full Description

SOL OAM-2006-N-016POC Darion A. Powell +1 (555) 000-0000 DESC: SPECIALIZED AUDIT DATA: The United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) intends to issue an order under other than full and open competition to Telcordia, 8 Corporate Place, Piscataway, NJ 08854-4157 for the acquisition of one specialized data product: CLONES (Common Language Online Entry System), for a base year with one option. CLONES is a real-time database that is the repository of CLLI (Common Language Location Identifier) codes. CLLI codes identify the types, locations, and owners of telecommunications network equipment in the United States. This database is required in order that GAO may provide information on the overall state of facilities-based competition for special access services in the United States. CLONES data is updated on an as needed basis by those telecommunications companies who provide information on the location of their network equipment in CLONES. GAO believes that Telcordia's CLONES data product described above is not offered by any other vendor; and because of that, GAO avoids a time consuming and substantial process in seeking other similar data which do not exist to GAO's knowledge. See Note 22. The Contracting Officer for this acquisition is: Darion A. Powell, U.S. Government Accountability Office, Acquisition Management, 441 G Street, NW, Room 6B46, Washington, DC 20548, Tel. +1 (555) 000-0000 CITE: (W-221 SN50U4C0)
