[Cobo] FW: VOICE and DATA COMM SERVICES

[Siragusa, Debbie]

FYI -  The due date for the survey of telecommunication services by OSF as been extended to March 26th.  

Also, I received a question from someone and I thought the following additional information might be helpful to everyone.

The information that OSF is gathering is to assist in issuing a "Statewide" contract.  As usual, we would not be obligated to use the SW contract, but it would be available to us.  Completing the questionnaire will not commit us to participation.  (I called OSF to verify).   It will be a good opportunity to see if the State can use its buying power as a whole to get some better pricing for telecommunications services, and they are encouraging us to participate by completing the survey as we would add a significant volume for the potential contract. 

Hope this information helps.  Please just let me know if you have any additional questions.

Debbie
