SSJ - Cable Television Services_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a cable television services contract awarded by the 81st Contracting Squadron at Keesler Air Force Base. The contract covers six months of cable television services provided by Cable One Inc., including all Keesler channels except Lodging, encompassing 24-hour news and weather, public broadcast services, major networks and superstations, sports channels, family-oriented programming, and Government Access channel for 260 drops.

The justification for single-source procurement is based on the determination that Cable One Inc. is the only local provider with existing infrastructure and wiring at Keesler AFB. The Air Force determined that requiring equipment removal and installation by another vendor would cause service interruption and increase costs. Market research confirmed limited local contractors capable of meeting the requirement. The contracting officer, MACEY R. BEHEE (GS-12), signed the determination on January 20, 2026, citing FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) as the authority for single-source acquisition. The justification identifies this as a Bridge Action under the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan and notes that the 81st Contracting Squadron and Contracting Officer's Representative will continue monitoring the commercial market to identify alternative service providers for future competitively solicited requirements.
