This is a Sole Source Justification document for local and long-distance telecommunication services at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming, submitted by the 90th Contracting Squadron. The document justifies awarding a sole-source contract to Lumen Technologies to provide 24/7/365 telecommunication services supporting the 90th Communications Squadron, including the transition from Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) to Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking by March 2025.

The justification outlines several key factors supporting the sole-source award: Lumen's unique qualifications as the operator of the Department of Defense Information Network (DoDIN) fiber backbone, their Impact Level 5 (IL5) security clearance, proven performance at F.E. Warren AFB for over a decade, and their ability to provide cloud-based voice systems with Next-Generation 911 capabilities. Market research through AbilityOne, UNICOR, and GSA schedules found no other capable providers. The contract will be evaluated for fair and reasonable pricing using GSA EIS Public Pricer comparisons. A Notice of Intent was posted on SAM.gov on January 2, 2024, with responses due by January 17, 2025, and an anticipated award date of January 21, 2025.
