About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Sole-Source for telecommunications services at Malmstrom Air Force Base (MAFB).
The 341st Contracting Squadron intends to award a sole-source contract to Lumen Technologies Government Solutions, Inc. for consolidated long-distance and local telecommunications services at MAFB. The current local telecommunications contract with Lumen expires on October 31, 2026, and the new requirements contract will run for five years from November 1, 2026, through October 31, 2031. The consolidation addresses critical long-distance capacity delays currently experienced by base users. Lumen's incumbent status, with existing infrastructure and equipment already established on premises, supports the sole-source approach by avoiding new construction, equipment reconfiguration of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) and Session Border Controllers (SBC) systems supporting nearly 6,000 active telephone lines, and preventing service outages during cutover that would impact daily operations and mission readiness.
Although this is not a request for competitive offers and no formal solicitation will be issued, all responsible sources may submit a quotation, capability statement, or proposal demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Responses must be submitted in writing no later than July 31, 2026, at 12:00 PM MDT to the 341st Contracting Squadron at Malmstrom AFB, Building 145, 7015 Goddard Drive, Montana 59402-6863. The primary point of contact is Jean-Denis Ducimetiere (jean-denis.ducimetiere@us.af.mil, 406-731-4031), with secondary contact Jennifer Lodmell (jennifer.lodmell.1@us.af.mil, 406-731-3567). Additional details are provided in the attached Performance Work Statement.

Notice of Intent – Malmstrom AFB Long-Distance and Local Telecommunications Service
Notice of Intent to Sole-Source: The 341st Contracting Squadron intends to award on a sole-source basis a contract to Lumen Technologies Government Solutions, Inc. (Lumen) to support Malmstrom Air Force Base’s (MAFB) Long-Distance and Local Telecommunication Service requirement.
Malmstrom Air Force Base currently has an expiring contract with Lumen Technologies Government Solutions Inc. (Lumen) for its Local Telecommunication Services, which is scheduled to end on 31 October 2026. To address critical delays currently experienced by users due to Malmstrom's limited long-distance capacity, the 341st Communications Squadron requires a new procurement that consolidates both local and long-distance requirements under a single sole-source vehicle with Lumen. This requirements contract will feature a five-year ordering period running from 1 November 2026 through 31 October 2031.
With Lumen being the incumbent provider for MAFB’s Local Telecommunications Service, their infrastructure and equipment, including the physical demarcation point, is already established on premises. A continuation with Lumen would avoid new construction, equipment changes, and a complete reconfiguration of the installation’s Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) and Session Border Controllers (SBC) which currently support nearly 6,000 active telephone lines. Moreover, maintaining this provider would prevent unavoidable outages during cutover for all telephone lines which would significantly impact daily operations and mission readiness.
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE OFFERS and a solicitation will not be issued.
All responsible sources may submit a quotation which shall be considered. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that the competition of this requirement would be advantageous to the Government. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. If no affirmative written response is received, the award will be made without further notice. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
RESPONSES ARE DUE NO LATER THAN 31 July 2026 by 12:00PM MDT to 341 CONS, Malmstrom AFB, Jean-Denis Ducimetiere, Contract Administrator at jean-denis.ducimetiere@us.af.mil
