About this opportunity
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to negotiate a sole source contract with Comcast of Maryland Limited Partnership for cable TV and internet services. The notice pertains to continued service provision at CPSC facilities, with a specific focus on maintaining existing infrastructure and WiFi services. Comcast is currently the incumbent provider with established infrastructure at the agency's sites, including critical point of entry connections. The agency has determined that switching to another service provider would result in significant service interruptions and potential delays in restoring critical telecommunications capabilities. The sole source procurement will be processed under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b) and 41 U.S.C. 3304(b)(2)(B) authorities.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to allow interested contractors an opportunity to demonstrate their capability to meet CPSC's telecommunications requirements, though the agency strongly indicates a preference for continuing with Comcast. Contractors who wish to be considered must submit a written capability statement via email to Contract Specialist Lydia Glasgow at lglasgow@cpsc.gov by 10am Eastern Time on February 18, 2025. The procurement will be handled as a simplified acquisition in accordance with FAR Subpart 12 and FAR Subpart 13 procedures. While the notice is not a formal competitive solicitation, the government will review any responses received within ten business days of the notice's issuance. The ultimate determination of whether to compete the procurement remains solely at the government's discretion. No phone calls will be accepted, and all communication must be submitted in writing through the specified email channel.
Notice text
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announces its intention to negotiate and issue a sole source award to Comcast of Maryland Limited Partnership, One Comcast Center, 1701 JFK BLVD. Philadelphia PA 19103-2838 for continued internet and cable tv services. There will be service interruption and additional infrastructure requirements if the service is procured through another provider as Comcast has the current infrastructure built at the sites, including the point of entry for the service. Additionally, the operation and maintenance for the WiFi infrastructure at the sample storage facility is dependent on the Comcast service level agreement already in place. The procurement of another provider would delay restoration of services.
Only one responsible source is able to satisfy agency requirements.
