Contracts available are locally awarded IDIQ contracts, Local Services Acquisition, Metropolitan Local Services Acquisition, Telecommunications Expense Management Services, Local Services Acquisition-2, and Networx.

These contracts are fully competed in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations to deliver any telecommunications infrastructure requirement. Let us be your one-stop shop for any office building, campus, or base environment to deliver any level of demand for equipment – (e.g. routers, switches), support services (e.g. systems integration, operations support) and billing services.

The above contracts also cover a full spectrum of wireless communications solutions including cellular phones with local, regional, national or international calling plans, paging equipment and services as well as satellite services.

GSA leverages the government’s buying power to obtain a full range of end-to-end telecommunications products and services using these region-specific contracts and national contracts to offer large scale volume pricing.

On November 24, 2009, the Greater Southwest Region awarded the TelServ contract in support of the purchase of telecommunications equipment and services.  This contract offers telecommunications equipment and labor in direct support to federal agencies within Region 7. The contract allows the federal agencies the ability to place orders directly with the vendors or seek the assisted services offered by the GSA/FAS Region 7 staff. This initiative will provide federal agencies the ability to procure comprehensive telecommunications equipment and services, that will streamline the ordering and management of projects and services, and ultimately lower the total cost of commercial products and services.

The TelServ award is made to an 8(a) Service Disabled Veteran Owned business, AmeriCom Automation Services, Inc of Las Cruces, New Mexico.  This contract is a fully competed Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Firm Fixed Price (FFP) direct order, direct bill non-mandatory single award contract for a five year period, one base year and four option years.  The contract value is set at $49.5M.  The minimum per order value is set at $50.00 and maximum per order value is set at $1.5M.  Check here to view the "User Guide" and "Brochure".
