How federal agencies buy telecommunications

Phone lines, data circuits, wireless service and cabling come as RFQs and combined synopsis/solicitations, while large network services often run through GSA's Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) contract instead of open notices. Notices ask for coverage at the site, service levels, installation dates and past performance. Common NAICS codes: 517111, 517112, 517810, and 238210 for structured cabling.

Contracting officers set a purchase aside for small businesses when they expect offers from at least two capable small firms at fair prices (the rule of two). Whether a firm counts as small depends on the SBA size standard for the notice's NAICS code, in annual receipts or employees, and offerors need an active SAM.gov registration with a Unique Entity ID.
