About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for the continued provision of high-speed internet service of at least 150 Mbps to their Bismarck, ND office. The current vendor, Dakota Carrier Network, LLC (DCN), has provided this service for 5 years at a low cost and has the necessary infrastructure already installed in the building. USFWS states they are unaware of any other capable providers that could offer the required service for the same or a lower cost. They intend to award a firm fixed-price contract to DCN utilizing simplified acquisition procedures under the $250,000 threshold. Interested parties have 10 calendar days to demonstrate their capability to provide the required service and evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government, after which USFWS will make a sole source determination.

JOINT ADMINISTRATIVE OPERATIONS
Acquisitions Operations
We are unaware of any other capable sources that will not cost us additional money and be able to provide us with high speed connection of a minimum of 150 Mbps.
We have had this service for 5 years with the vendor -current PO is 140F0619A0003. They will continue to offer it at a low cost rate.
Internet Service for the office located at USFWS, Bismarck ND, 3425 Miriam Avenue, Bismarck, ND 58501. We seek to continue the current service with Dakota Carrier Network, LLC (DCN).
We need a vendor that has the ability to provide the internet/bandwidth without extended wait times or multiple attempts to upload or download data. The current vendor has installed the fiber optic line and connection to the building for the previous contract, therefore we are asking for continued service with the currently installed equipment.

Price is determined to be fair and reasonable based on a current contract with the vendor.
