(3) Wireless priority for 15 phones. (4) International, voice, data, taxes, surcharges, and regulatory fees associated with CLINS 001 through 003.

The BEP intends to procure the above four items from Cingular Wireless via their published GSA schedule No. GS-35F-0297K via FAR part 8 as a fixed price type contract. The period of performance for this service is November 15, 2011 through November 14, 2012. The program office has stated the phones have been purchased from Cingular wireless. As such, Cingular wireless is the only service provider for Cingular wireless cellular phones.
