Recap of Purpose of RFI Survey for Vendor Capabilities and Vendor Comments The RFI has been issued to survey vendor capabilities and comments regarding the Governments potential requirement for hardware and software maintenance for telephony nodes at various locations throughout the United States. The requirement is for a Contractor (either alone or with a subcontracting and/or teaming arrangement), to provide the following: 1. 24/7 hardware and software maintenance coverage during system failures. The requirement also requires a 24 hour toll free number where the operator can dispatch a certified technician who will respond and be on-site within four hours if the issue cannot be resolved remotely. 2. On-site maintenance support at its OCIO Denver location. The intent is to provide on-site technical support for the daily operation of Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise (OXE) Telephony system and Genesys & OmniTouch Contact Center applications and AVST CX-E Voice Mail System. The requirement is to have a certified technician on-site during core business hours to perform high-level troubleshooting as well as move-adds-changes (MAC). 3. A Certified Genesys Administrator is anticipated. The Administrator will be responsible for the full system administration of the Genesys product suite of components. The Administrator may be remote or onsite at the OCIO Denver or Washington D.C. area location. DOI reserves the right to change location in the future. 4. Installation of telephony hardware and software in the event of failure, normal wear and tear, or the addition of a new site to the IDVC.
