3. Wireless Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative Program
Objective: Transform Government’s Acquisition and Management of Wireless Technology to achieve:
Reduced acquisition and operational costs
Improve operational efficiency
Identification and distribution of best practices
A solid wireless foundation to support our future wireless, mobile government
Value: Increased savings, improved management, and improved utilization of existing wireless resources
Vision: Leadership in Wireless Services Best Practices

4. Contracting Officer Guidance: Patti Stang

5. Program Components Service Plans and Devices (This RFQ)
Cellular plans that address current and future voice, voice/data, and data only service plans
Wide variety of devices: cell phones, smart phones, data only devices, tablets, pagers, others
Infrastructure, sub-systems, and complementary services: messaging services/server (BES), encryption services, device recycling/disposition reporting, M2M, other
Management Information: business portal interface, performance management plan, program management
Centers of Excellence: Shared resources for addressing common wireless technology management processes and concerns across federal government

6. How The Wireless Program Works
The Wireless FSSI will include wireless services and devices based on government-wide volumes and a centralized approach. The BPA will also include business portal interface requirements to enable enterprise management. Agencies will leverage a portal or TEMS service to establish a single interface for management of wireless enterprise Agencies leverage program to obtain services and approved devices

7. Anticipated Impact at One Agency Represents Potential Benefits for All of Government
$X ACPU across agency
The current average cost per unit across the agency subscriber base averages $X per month. This value varies based on level of centralized acquisition, location, and mission.
The Devices & Services FSSI is looking to achieve targeted discounts for devices and services based on aggregated volume across all Federal Agencies.
TEMS providers have historically provided additional per line savings beyond those from acquisition. Sources include zero usage account identification, improved plan selection, and overage reduction/elimination.
The FSSI Wireless Program has targeted savings goals and management metrics to help the federal government improve its management of wireless technology.
Z % savings from improved management, improved plan selection

8. Common RFQ Questions (other clarifications beyond list below were also made)
Contracting
Awarded BPA Contractor(s) will be able to submit modifications for new capabilities and price reductions
After BPA awards, new service plans can be added to BPAs by Contractors via mod if required by agency customers
Pricing:
The Price Maintenance Clause is based on a deviation approval by the GSA Senior Procurement Executive and will remain
Effective price definition updated
Technical
As requested, some requirements now listed “as available” which include: (1) Kill/Wipe; (2) Headset/Holster;
The Business Portal Interface is NOT a portal---it is an interface to standardize how you may commonly receive data from a government customer designated portal via an SFTP server that the government designated portal provider will host
Security requirements will primarily occur at the task order level
Levels of Coverage requirement reduced, data download rate requirements eliminated
Evaluation
Technical and Management sub-factors relative importance were specified

12. Ensuring the Program Meets the Unique Requirements of Wireless: Device Enrollment
Wireless FSSI Team will address short product cycles of wireless devices
Program website ( will provide:
Instructions and Checklist for industry to submit device enrollments
Contacts for support
All modification shall be submitted via e-Mod process; Schedule 70 Team will provide designated resources from one branch to process all enrollments
Aggressive, objective interval for commercially available to completed enrollment interval (current average of days for similar items would support existing interval of 3-4 weeks for agencies to approve devices for purchase)

13. Wireless Subcommittees Initiated
Portal: Confirm reporting and interface requirements meet needs
Bid Model/Economics: Evaluate value throughout program life-cycle at agency acquisition and program levels
Transition/Implementation: Identify best practices, tools
Device: Accelerate device evaluation and approval baseline standards; Support policy development
Security: Support security policy and compliance through resource and information sharing
Service Coverage: Team approach to measuring service coverage
