Commercial Internet Service Provider (CISP)

This announcement constitutes a Notice of Intent to Sole Source. The 147th ATW intends to award a service contract to support the procurement of Commercial Internet Service to Ellington AB, Houston, TX 77034. AT&T is the only vendor capable of meeting this requirement. Market research confirms that AT&T is the sole provider with an existing and operational network demarcation point (Dmarc) at the 147 ATKW. The Dmarc is the physical point at which AT&T's public network ends and the installation's private network begins, making it the essential point of interconnection. Procuring this service from any other vendor would require the installation of new fiber optic cabling and the construction of a new Dmarc on the installation. Such an undertaking would result in substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable delays. These delays would negatively impact ongoing mission activities that rely on stable, high-speed connectivity. Therefore, AT&T is the only source that can fulfill this requirement in a timely and cost-effective manner.

The proposed contract action for this requirement will be sole source to the following

Contractor:

AT&T Enterprises LLC

CAGE Code: 9UHJ2

3033 Chain Bridge Rd

Oakton, VA
