About this file
This document is a Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source under FAR Part 13, related to a federal contract opportunity for cable and internet services for the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) headquarters in Arlington, VA.
The USMS is seeking to renew services provided by the incumbent, Comcast Business Communications, LLC d/b/a Comcast, for the period of 9/1/2024 - 8/31/2025. The USMS utilizes these services to support its daily operational missions and stay informed of current events. Comcast is the sole vendor capable of providing these services due to the existing wired connections at the leased GSA facility. As a result, the USMS intends to award a sole source contract to Comcast under FAR 13.106-1(b). However, the USMS will fairly consider any quotes received in response to the combined synopsis/solicitation. Quotes are due by 8/16/2024, and the anticipated award date is 8/21/2024. Price reasonableness will be determined in accordance with FAR 13.
