About this file
This document is a Sole Source Documentation form for a federal contract opportunity under FAR Part 13, covering purchase orders between $10,000 and $250,000. The contract is for internet and cable services for Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) offices in Roanoke, Norfolk, Hampton, and Dulles, with a period of performance from 10/01/2025 to 09/30/2026. Market research determined that due to location-specific constraints such as building management restrictions and limited service provider coverage, only one vendor can meet the government's requirements. The document indicates a recurring requirement and is intended to be awarded to Cox Communications, with the contracting officer determining that only one source is reasonably available. The solicitation is not a competitive procurement, and interested parties are encouraged to contact the DEA by June 4, 2025, if they believe they can provide the required services.

Brief description of supplies or services required and the intended use:
To Provide Internet and Cable services for the Roanoke, Norfolk, Hampton, and Dulles offices.
Summary of the facts and circumstances that support the determination that only one source is reasonably available to supply the required supplies or services, or only the specified brand-name items can satisfy the Government’s need:
Due to the location of the offices, not all service providers provide reliable internet and cable for the area. Some location sites require accessibility for operational purposes and are blocked from internal sources. Additionally, multiple building owners do not allow equipment attached to the buildings, such as a satellite dish. Other vendors can offer service, but a dish must be installed.
Describe in detail any market research conducted. Include results and state whether any vendors expressed interest:
Market Research determined while other vendors were contacted, they could not provide coverage for the specific office locations. Other vendors offered the service, but required installation of a dish.
Building management does not allow the installation of equipment on their building.
The Contracting Officer hereby determines that, due to the circumstances of this procurement:
Only one source is deemed to be reasonably available.
Only the specified brand-name item will satisfy the Government’s need. For orders exceeding $25,000, this Limited Source Justification shall be made available together with the solicitation and posted on the Contract Opportunities page on the Governmentwide Point of Entry (SAM.gov) in accordance with FAR 5.101(a)(1).
The Contracting Officer certifies that an order for the supplies or services will not be placed unless the price is found to be fair and reasonable.
