About this file
This document is a Sole Source Documentation form for a sole source acquisition under FAR Part 13, covering Cable TV, Voice, Internet & Static IP Services for the Seattle Field Division in Washington and Oregon. The period of performance is from 10-10-2025 to 10-25-2026, with a total estimated amount of $343,436.50. Comcast is the sole vendor due to unique circumstances: the DEA buildings have been previously wired for Comcast Cable Internet and are not compatible with other vendors. Market research showed Comcast offers open market and GSA pricing, though GSA pricing is not advantageous and would nearly double current service costs. The contract is a recurring requirement, and the Contracting Officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available for these services.

| 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. | |
