G2X TAKE: Beating out three other bidders, B3 Group, a very fast rising HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, just picked up a 5-year task to support an Office of Information Technology requirement for technical support and maintenance of all Voice Systems (VS) that are used at the VA Medical Centers (VAMC), Vet Centers, Out Patient Clinics, Community Based Out Patient Clinics (CBOCs) and support facilities.   The VS is comprised of Atos/Unify/Siemens PBX systems, to include associated/peripheral equipment including but not limited to  hardware, software, phones, services including Voice-Over-IP (VOIP), instruments, trunks, cable plant (copper/fiber) terminations and documentation, environmental and system alarms, backup systems, and all interfaced ancillary systems. This task was competed using the VA T4NG IDIQ Contract.   Take Bytes  B3 Group recently recruited Kevin Rice as their new COO, as they look to leverage his experience leading operations and strategy efforts for two of the most successful Primes at VA over the past decade.  The company was recently named as one of the Federal Health consulting firms creating a BUZZ.   This continues the winning ways for B3 Group, and builds on several recent awards at VA, to include an Appeals Technical Support Agile Software Development Services task; an award to support the VA’s eCMS Helpdesk; a three-year contract to provide Professional Services for Engineering Services (PSES); a $21.7M IT and Operations (ITOPS) Support Task and a very notable $163M VA Standards and COTS Integration Platform (SCIP) task award.  A copy of an early sources sought detailing the Atos/Unify/Siemens Consolidated PBX Maintenance support required can be found here.
