The contractor shall provide a fixed firm price solution that includes local and long-distance domestic
calling with an overflow service. Historically NBSFS uses DSN for international calling, but when required
to us LTS for international calling the number of minutes do not exceed 400 a month. NBSFS understands
that international calling can cause a substantial increase in cost. The Contractor shall provide a fixed firm
price for up to 400 minutes. When the minutes reach 400 for the month the contractor shall notify NBSFS
POC via email that the site is approaching their fixed priced limit for international calling. After 400
minutes have been used for the month NBSFS assumes the cost will then be charged on a per minute basis.
