4. Authority Cited: Simplified Procedures only one source reasonably available" under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1).

5. Reason for Authority Cited:

Ft. Greely requires cable services vs satellite service due to interference with activities on the installation. Satellite TV has been prohibited so in-ground cable has been installed and is owned and maintained by GCI. ACS was contacted for internet services. They use DSL instead of wireless and could potentially provide internet service; however, they are a large business, and this procurement is set aside for small business concerns. Moreover, ACS' price for DSL internet would not be fair and reasonable as a stand-alone services.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: This Cable TV / Internet requirement has been solicited several times in the past. There currently is no other cable provider in the state.

If there was the infrastructure on the post would have to be replace or purchased from GCI. The J&A will be posted on FBO.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: RCO and the customer will continue to evaluate and explore new avenues to increase competition.
