About this file
This document is a Justification and Approval for Limited Source procurement, dated 9 November 2026, issued by the 368th Training Squadron (368 TRS) at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, requesting approval from the Air Force contracting office (82 CONS/LGCA) to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract to Boingo Wireless, Inc. for commercial internet service and operational Wi-Fi connectivity. The contract is intended to ensure continuity of services across technical training and administrative areas within the dormitories and barracks on Fort Leonard Wood Army Post.
The justification cites 10 USC 234(c) as the statutory authority for other than full and open competition. The primary rationale for the limited source approach centers on Boingo Wireless's existing infrastructure and networking devices already installed on the installation through an existing AAFES contract. Competitive procurement is deemed infeasible due to substantial duplicative costs that would not be recoverable, combined with unacceptable mission delays. Installing a new commercial provider would require interservice work permits from the Army Directorate of Public Works, spectrum deconfliction from the Army Network Enterprise Center, and facility access approvals, introducing an estimated 6 to 12 months of delay. Boingo Wireless is identified as the only vendor capable of supplying wireless commercial internet service to Fort Leonard Wood with existing infrastructure and the ability to offer wireless networks with appropriate encryption rating and content filtering. The document has been signed by the Contracting Officer and Section Chief, indicating approval of the justification.

MEMORANDUM FOR 82 CONS/LGCA
FROM: 368 TRS/CC
6007 Cooley Ave, Bldg. 1703 Fort Leonard Wood, Mo 65473
SUBJECT: Justification and Approval for Limited Source Boingo Wi-Fi
1. Description of the Supplies/Services: The 368 TRS requires a firm-fixed-price contract for commercial internet service and operational Wi-Fi connectivity. The proposed action will award a sole source contract directly to Boingo Wireless, Inc. to ensure continuity of services across technical training and administrative footprint areas.
2. Efforts to Obtain Competition: Boingo Wireless has existing infrastructure and networking devices installed in the dormitories on Fort Leonard Wood. Boingo has a contract/agreement with AAFES and is available at over 50 installations. Substantial duplication of cost not expected to be recovered through competition, combined with unacceptable mission delays. 368 TRS is an Air Force GSU tenant on an Army garrison. Installing a new commercial provider requires inter-service work permits from Army Directorate of Public Works (DPW), spectrum deconfliction from the Army Network Enterprise Center (NEC), and facility access approvals. This approval cycle introduces 6 to 12 months of delay.
3. Other Factors: IAW FAR 6.302 the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition for this acquisition is 10 USC 234 (c). Boingo Wireless has existing infrastructure in barracks and dormitories on Fort Leonard Wood Army Post. Boingo Wireless is the only vendor who can supply wireless commercial internet service to Fort Leonard Wood with existing infrastructure and the ability to offer wireless networks with the appropriate encryption rating and content filtering.
