J--Upgrade the Avaya Communication Manager R4 to Avaya Communication Manager R6

The US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity intends to award a sole source contract to Altura Communications Solutions for upgrading their Avaya Communication infrastructure. This upgrade involves moving from Avaya Communication Manager R4 to R6, replacing Avaya S8710 servers with Avaya DL360pG8 servers, and substituting Avaya Definity G3 cabinets with Avaya G650 media gateways. Altura Communications Solutions is uniquely positioned as an authorized agent and the sole provider capable of supplying the necessary Avaya equipment to meet the agency's requirements. Due to the proprietary nature of the products and services, this acquisition follows a non-competitive procurement process in accordance with FAR 6.302. The contract is posted under solicitation number 0010530093 with NAICS code 811213, reflecting the specialized nature of the procurement. The government has explicitly stated that this is not a solicitation for competitive quotes and invites only written responses that provide clear and convincing evidence another source can meet the requirements and that competition would benefit the government. Absent such responses within ten days of the notice, the award will proceed with Altura Communications Solutions. The point of contact for this action is provided for any formal communications regarding this opportunity.
