The Economic Development Administration awarded a purchase order to GCI Communication Corp. on September 22, 2026, valued at $40,830.00, to continue operation of land line phone, fax, and internet service at EDA's Anchorage Field Office through September 21, 2031. Performance is sole source with no set-aside. The base contract runs one year from award with four one-year option periods on a firm fixed-price basis. Services include one business voice line with local and long-distance calling and fax capability, plus one dedicated 10 Mbps internet circuit with continuous connectivity. The contractor provides installation, testing, activation, maintenance, technical support, and repair services. Work must comply with Department of Commerce security requirements, including NIST SP 800-171 standards and Department cybersecurity policies with incident reporting. EDA justified sole source award on the ground that GCI is the only GSA-authorized telecommunications provider authorized to connect services into the existing building infrastructure within the federally managed Anchorage facility.
