Documentation of Decision to Restrict Competition

This document is created to document the decision to restrict competition in accordance with FAR 12.102(a) and DFARS CD 212.102-70 for acquisitions at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). It establishes the reasonableness to restrict competition to meet the Government’s needs and provides the basis for this decision.

1. Agency and Contracting Activity:

The agency and contracting activity for this effort is the United States Department of the Navy’s Strategic Weapons Facility, Atlantic (SWFLANT) located at 1150 USS Los Angeles Rd, Kings Bay, GA 31547-2634.

2. Description of Supplies/Services and Estimated Value

DirecTV Satellite TV Service Renewal for seven buildings, to include new installation and service of another building, providing 12 months of service starting 1 Apr 2026

3. Acquisition History:

The previous contracts for satellite services have been awarded to Direct TVas the equipment is currently installed throughout the installation. Market research, conducted in accordance with FAR 10.1001(a)(2)(iii), revealed that prospective providers are unwilling to submit formal quotations without first performing onsite assessments of the eight buildings. The costs associated with arranging site visits to these secured locations cannot be justified at this stage. Nonetheless, installation of the 44 receivers will incur additional expenses not anticipated with the current contractor. These installation costs, coupled with the potential operational disruptions during the transition period, emphasize the financial and logistical benefits of maintaining the existing contractor.

4. Sole-Source Vendor Information:

The Vendor for this procurement is Direct TV LLC, Jeremy McCree, 2260 E Imperial Hwy, El Segundo CA, 90245-3501

5. Basis for the Decision:

The basis for this decision is due to the fact that there would be significant cost to complete the installation if we were to shift to another entity. As such, there is significant up front cost to shift from Direct TV to Dish;

with no financial benefit for this effort.

Our choice to stay with Direct TV is based on the above justification to not incur disruption in services or additional cost due to installation

6. Market Research & Efforts to Promote Competition

Each year when we renew this contract, we conduct an internet search looking at satellite TV providers. The requirements do include a TV package only, no satellite based internet available to the command. All other IT based communications must go through the SSP firewall, not over satellite. This burden does restrict competition.
