About this file
This document is a Limited Sources Justification for a sole source acquisition of cable TV, voice, internet, and static IP services for the Seattle Field Division of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in Washington and Oregon.
The DEA is proposing to award a sole source purchase order to Comcast Cable Communications, LLC to provide these services. The justification states that Comcast is the only available source, as the DEA's offices have been previously wired for Comcast services and the building lessors will not allow rewiring for other providers. Market research found that Comcast's GSA pricing is not advantageous compared to open market pricing. The estimated total value of the purchase order is $49,950.96 with a period of performance from 10/10/2024 to 10/25/2025. The Contracting Officer has determined the price to be fair and reasonable.

| Summary of the facts and c rcumstances that support the determination that only one source is reasonably available to supply the required suppl es or serv ces or only the spec f ed brandname tems can sat sfy the Government s need: The Seattle Field Division has several buildings within the Washington and Oregon AORs, which have been previously wired for Comcast Cable Internet, and are not compatible with any other vendor in the area. On several different occasions, our offices have attempted to rewire our location, however, the buildings are not DEA owned but leased. The lessor will not authorize any rewiring or modifications to their facilities for additional internet capability, even at DEA's Expense. The 17 floor building, of which 4 floors are occupied by DEA, are also not able to add additional lines for internet with another vendor, as the lessor has specifically prohibited this option, as well. | |

| Descr be in detai any market research conducted Include results and state whether any vendors expressed interest: Market research concluded, Comcast offers open market and GSA pricing, however GSA pricing for our service needs is not advantageous to the government, awarding the contract to this vendor through a GSA contract would nearly double current service costs. | |
