IA02 JA FAR Part 6 - High Speed Internet - Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification Review Document for a sole-source contract for Commercial Wireless High-Speed Internet Service for the U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The procurement will provide a 2Gbps unlimited data speed internet service with specific network infrastructure components, including 1 Static IP, Fiber Internet, Managed Network Edges, Network Switches, Wi-Fi, and an Outdoor Antenna, all to be procured from Charter Communications Operating, LLC for a 12-month base period with four additional one-year option periods (30 September 2025 through 29 September 2030).

The contract is being awarded under the authority of 10 United States Code 3204(a)(1), citing substantial duplication of cost that would not be recovered through competition. Market research confirmed that the existing infrastructure and wiring in Building 1307 is proprietary to Spectrum, and changing providers would require extensive and costly reinstallation. The total contract value is redacted, and the procurement will be funded by Quality of Information Management (QOIM) funds, with the government determining the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable.
