JA Ethernet Services.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source/Brand Name Sole Source procurement document issued by NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center San Diego for the Naval Supply Systems Command. The document justifies restricting an Ethernet Service contract to AT&T as the sole source provider for a 12-month period at NSA Monterey. The justification cites AT&T's exclusive ownership of all telephone infrastructure in the geographic area surrounding NSA Monterey, establishing that any competitor would be required to install entirely new infrastructure to provide service, which would result in significant cost increases to the Navy.

The procurement specifies an Ethernet Service requirement with a quantity of 12 months of service. AT&T is identified as the manufacturer/service provider, with manufacturer point of contact and address information redacted in the document. The document includes checkboxes for standard sole source justification criteria, with selections indicating that system compatibility with existing installed equipment and the geographic/infrastructure monopoly are the primary grounds for sole sourcing. Additional justification notes that this service enables base Entry Control Points to access the Security Force database when CAC cards are scanned; without AT&T's service, security personnel would be required to manually authenticate CAC cards, requiring additional manpower. Unit pricing and extended pricing information have been redacted from the procurement table.
