About this opportunity
The Drug Enforcement Administration is conducting a sole-source justification notice for cable and internet services, with a capability-statement deadline of September 11, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EST. The DEA intends to award a firm-fixed price purchase order to Charter Communications Operating, LLC (12405 Powerscourt Drive, Saint Louis, Missouri 63131-3673) under FAR 6.103-1 (Only One Responsible Source) authority.
The acquisition covers recurring cable television and internet services for DEA offices in Lexington, London, Louisville, Clarksburg, and Johnson City, with a period of performance from September 30, 2026 through September 29, 2027. The DEA determined that Charter is the only viable provider because it is the primary cable television provider in these areas and the only alternative (satellite service) is prohibited by property restrictions. In multi-provider markets such as Louisville and Lexington, Charter has demonstrated superior service performance. NAICS 517111 (Wired Telecommunications Carriers) applies.
This notice is not a request for proposal. Any contractor capable of providing these services may submit a capability statement by the deadline to angel.d.barkley@dea.gov. The Government will consider responses solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement; a determination to restrict competition remains within the Government's sole discretion.
