Head of Contracting Activity

Verizon wireless currently provides cellular service for 1200 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-00010.

The contractor currently provides essential communications services needed for over 1,000 Bureau personnel for daily business operations and cannot be interrupted. Current Verizon services are being provided to the Bureau under contract awarded by the Bureau of Fiscal Service (BFS), TFSACFP17K0041, but cannot be modified or extended, requiring this sole source bridge contract.

Market research was not conducted. Current services need to be continued until the new EIS contract is awarded.

Need to include the FSS Contract Information....currently blank. Also please include a description of the services that will be provided. Right know we just say it's a continuation to allow for an EIS award. Let's provide a clear description on how EIS will consume the current services under this bridge agreeement once it's awarded. Be sure to state that verizon services are essential communications needed for over 1,000 personnel for daily business operations and cannot be interrupted. Also note the history by stating the services are currently being provided to the Bureau under a contract let by BFS but cannot be modified at this point.
