This amendment announces the Government's acquisition strategy for the services identified in the sources sought. In accordance with FAR 7.102(a)(4), the Government will leverage an existing indefinite delivery type contract to procure these services. No new contract will be awarded for this requirement. Interested vendors should be aware that the opportunity will be fulfilled through the existing contract vehicle.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking information from vendors capable of providing Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) services, including POTS lines, PRI, DID/DOD, and various calling features, across multiple states. Services must be available 24/7 with maximum reliability at all listed Service Delivery Points (SDPs). This is a Request for Information (RFI) only, not a solicitation, and no contract will be awarded based solely on responses. Interested parties must submit a Vendor Capabilities Statement and a completed Market Research Workbook by 04:00 PM CST on July 13, 2026. No budget information or specific performance location is provided in this notice.
