About this file
This document includes a sole source justification memorandum and a related special notice federal contract opportunity. The sole source justification memorandum seeks approval for a sole source award to Comcast of Nashville, LLC to provide cable television programming and services for two Tennessee Army National Guard locations through March 2025. The services are needed to support response efforts and will require the incumbent vendor due to hardware compatibility and infrastructure considerations. The related special notice announces the Tennessee Army National Guard's intent to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Comcast of Nashville, Inc. for these cable services from March 2024 through March 2025. The notice provides points of contact for inquiries and states that competition would not be advantageous due to this being a follow-on requirement for continued services.

| _7_ PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACT_dWWFyKo3zgQ-e71MSrA2mA: No barriers to overcome or remove. | |
| _5_ PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACT_xMsHeIbKfGYdZx*NQZBzkg: Based on research conducted through investigating and referencing historical acquisition documents, COMCAST is the only vendor able to provide the service we are seeking and is compatible with our preexisting cable equipment and hardware. All other vendors would require a major overhaul of hardware and would cause downtime in television services at our Nashville and Smyrna military base locations. Competitive conditions are extremely limited due to no other providers that can specifically provide hard line cable television service in either location. | |
| _4_ UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THA_fxPS18NzthbsRqqrY5h47Q: This requirement is to supply the procurement of one specific name brand COMCAST Cable Television Programming. COMCAST is still the only provider that provides a television subscription over hard line to both JFHQ-TN and Volunteer Training Site-Smyrna (VTS-S), the two locations for which this subscription is required. JFHQ-TN and VTS-S require a television subscription that must be provided over hard line (i.e., fiber, coaxial cable, etc.). Satellite television is not acceptable due to likely outages during adverse weather and/or natural disasters, which would greatly inhibit response efforts by the TNARNG. | |
| _3_ BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPL_UM33PhqLHArLIQSUjN*Zfw: The TN USPFO intends to award a Sole Source, delivery order for land line cable television programming and services through COMCAST. The anticipated date of delivery is the day the contract is awarded. TN Army National Guard Fiscal Year 2024, Operations and Maintenance funds, will be used to place the order. | |
