1REDACTED_Updated Single Source Justification - FAR 13 - Under the SAT.pdf

This document is a Sole-Source Justification for an Internet Protocol Video Market (IPVM) subscription under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Enterprise Acquisition Center intends to award a sole-source contract to IP VIDEO MARKET INFO INC for an annual subscription costing under the simplified acquisition threshold. The IPVM subscription provides access to up to 10 user seats covering IPVM Enterprise, Research, AI Agent, and Strategy Sessions, with access for agency staff including OET, PSHSB, EB, and other FTEs focused on national security.

The justification emphasizes that IPVM is the only source capable of providing in-depth research reports, competitive intelligence, and industry reports on radio frequency devices and manufacturers. The subscription is critical for protecting the U.S. telecommunications supply chain from national security threats, supporting classified work in the national security space, and enabling investigations. The contract period is set for 6 MAY 2025, with the sole source justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) due to unique capabilities that cannot be obtained from alternative sources.
