The Bureau currently uses AT&T as one of its wireless providors. These lines of serivce need to continue to be provided by AT&T as many users only get cellular signal from AT&T. These wireless services are being transitioned over the the GSA's EIS enterprise contract but that has yet to be awarded so these serivces need to be continued until that time.

AT&T currently provides cellular service for 905 devices. This service needs to continue for the employees with these lines of service. These lines of service cannot be moved to a different carrier without multiple weeks of down time while all of the devices are replaced leading to a disruption of the business units. Award will be made through BPA TIRNO-16-Z-00009.

The contractor currently provides essential communications services needed for over 905 Bureau personnel for daily business operations and cannot be interrupted. Current AT&T services are being provided to the Bureau under contract awarded by the Bureau of Fiscal Service (BFS), TFSACFP17K0017, but cannot be modified or extended, requiring this sole source bridge contract.

Market research was not conducted. The current contract expires 7/31, and services are required to continue or else CFPB operations will be disrupted.

New requirement is currently being procured through GSA's new EIS IDIQ. Award has not yet been made, and a disruption in cell service is unadvisable due to the disruption this would could Bureau operations.
