Charter Cable / Spectrum for CFTC New York Office - Sole Source

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) intends to issue a sole-source purchase order for cable television and internet services from Charter Communications Holdings LLC (Spectrum) for its New York office located at 290 Broadway. The procurement is being conducted under specific Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provisions that allow for a single-source award when only one responsible vendor can meet the agency's requirements. CFTC has determined that Spectrum is the sole provider capable of delivering both television and internet services at the specified address. Interested parties are invited to submit written responses demonstrating their capability to fulfill the requirement by 10:00 AM ET on March 10, 2025. The government will review these submissions for market research purposes, but emphasizes that this notice is not a competitive solicitation and the decision to proceed with a non-competitive award remains entirely at the government's discretion.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside status for this procurement, and the anticipated contract duration is one year with an expected award date of March 30, 2025. The contract falls under the NAICS category for Wired Telecommunications Carriers (517111) and the PSC category for IT and Telecom Network Services. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the scope is limited to providing cable and internet services for a single CFTC office location. The government explicitly states that it will not reimburse vendors for any costs associated with preparing responses to this announcement. Potential respondents should note that oral communications will not be accepted, and all submissions must be in writing and provide sufficient information to establish the vendor's capability to meet the stated requirements.
