Justification WVARNG Wireless Services Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification Review Document for an exception to fair opportunity competition issued by the National Guard Bureau for a sole source procurement action.

The National Guard Bureau seeks to acquire commercial wireless voice and data capabilities with FirstNet Services, related equipment, and support services for the West Virginia Air National Guard (WVARNG) under a new firm fixed price contract valued at $1,975,802.22. The procurement is intended to provide access to the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network with a performance period not to exceed 60 months, consisting of a base 12-month period and four 12-month option periods. This is a limited source action awarded as a task order or modification to the existing Wireless Services Spiral 4 indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity multiple award contract. The requirement mandates priority service for all wireless devices and integration with FirstNet's network, which is uniquely capable of prioritizing communication for first responders during emergencies.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3406(c)(5) as implemented in FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B), establishing that only one awardee—AT&T Mobility National Accounts, LLC (CAGE 3CLK6)—is capable of providing the required supplies and services at the required quality level. The Government previously procured wireless services under contract N0024424D005/W912L825FA008 on March 28, 2025, also under this sole source authority. An Intent to Sole Source was posted for 15 days on SAM.gov, and market research confirmed AT&T as the authorized FirstNet provider. The FirstNet network was established under the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 and is the only national telecommunications network dedicated to public safety. The document certifies the anticipated cost as fair and reasonable and was prepared on March 11, 2026, with reviews completed by the Command Advocate for Competition.
