About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification for a firm-fixed price purchase order to provide commercial WiFi service to the Airmen in Training (AiT) dormitories at Sheppard AFB. The government has a requirement to continue providing this service, which was previously awarded to Boingo Wireless, Inc. through a competitive BPA process in 2021. The justification cites FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B) "Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements" as the basis for a sole-source award to Boingo, as their proprietary equipment has already been installed on the base.
The related federal contract opportunity is a special notice for the "SAFB Enhanced Cybersecurity Controls" requirement. The 82nd Contracting Squadron at Sheppard AFB intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed price purchase order based on the approved Single Source Justification. The anticipated award date is on or around an unspecified date. The applicable NAICS code is 517111 with a 1,500 employee size standard. This notice is not a solicitation, and no solicitation package will be issued. Responses providing documentation of capability to provide the required services are requested by 13 August 2024 at 10am CST, but no award will be made until funds are available.
