JA Sole Source Justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Sole Source Justification under FAR 13.5 for a single-award, firm-fixed-price, indefinite delivery contract for Direct TV satellite television services. The solicitation is issued by USSOCOM's COMNAVSPECWARCOM for brand name Direct TV services and equipment across multiple West Coast locations including Imperial Beach, CA, San Clemente Island, CA, and Niland, CA. The total estimated contract value is $500,000, and the services include renewal of existing Direct TV, establishment of new transmission/programming, installation services, and procurement/installation of new hardware.

Market research was conducted through internet searches, Small Business (SBA) Dynamic Small Business Search, and SAM.gov, which revealed limited competitive options. The government determined that changing digital cable providers would duplicate costs, and multiple commercial vendors are authorized Direct TV service providers. The sole interested source identified was Commercial Connect Television Inc./DIRECT TV. The contract justification emphasizes maintaining the current provider is in the government's best interest, with no expected savings from switching vendors, and the notice will be posted with the solicitation as it cites a brand name requirement.
