4. Sole Source Justification Rationale in accordance with RFO 12.102(a)

HSI agents routinely conduct investigations within the United States and abroad that involve multiple forms of communication involving but not limited to telephones. The use of telephones evolved in such a way that cell phones now dominate as the primary means of telephone communications versus traditional use of landline.

Per the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Wireless local number portability (WLNP) has been available in the U.S. since November 2003 (in the top 100 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs)) and May 2004 (in the rest of the country). A consumer wishing to port a number should contact the prospective new carrier, who will start the process of porting by contacting the consumer's current carrier. Commission rules require carriers to port a number when they receive a valid request, and carriers may not refuse to port.

Wireless LNP is a wireless consumer's ability to change service providers within the same local area and still keep the same phone number.

Wireless LNP allows consumers to switch from one wireless carrier to another within the same general metropolitan area. It does not allow consumers to keep the same phone number when moving to a new town or city.
