About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security's US Coast Guard has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source firm fixed price contract for commercial internet services at the USCG Base Kodiak. The contract will be awarded to GCI Communication Corp., located in Anchorage, Alaska, for providing internet services to the base. This procurement is being conducted under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which allows for sole source contracting when services are available from only one responsible source. The government has determined that GCI is the sole provider capable of meeting their specific requirements due to existing infrastructure and equipment already in place. The contract will cover one base year of services, with performance expiring on March 31, 2026.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors about the intended sole source contract and provide an opportunity for them to demonstrate alternative capabilities. Interested organizations may submit their qualifications in writing to the designated point of contact no later than May 10, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. Alaska time. The government will evaluate these submissions solely to determine whether the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis. The contract falls under NAICS Code 517112 for Wireless Telecommunications Carriers and will use provisions from FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13 for acquiring commercial items and services. The US Coast Guard emphasizes that this notice is not a request for competitive quotes and that any determination to compete the procurement remains exclusively at the government's discretion. Oral communications will not be accepted in response to this notice.
Notice text
THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES.
The Government hereby submits a notice of intent to award a sole source firm fixed price award for commercial internet services for the US Coast Guard Base Kodiak. The vendor will be GCI COMMUNICATION CORP., 2550 Denali ST STE 1000, Anchorage, Alaska 99503-2751, UEI: L5ANNJF4BKS5. The period of performance will include one base year of services, performance will expire 31 Mar 2026.
This action is being awarded on a sole source basis pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of services will satisfy agency requirements. Currently, GCI has all infrastructure and equipment in place to continue services without disruption. To use any other provider would require replacement of equipment and substantial infrastructure repairs to accommodate a new provider. These obstacles would cost more to resolve than any savings that could be realized using competition. The USCG will continue to conduct market research to identify new providers and other options to remove barriers to competition.
USCG Base Kodiak, Kodiak AK 99619 will be the procuring entity for this effort. Performance will be located at Kodiak, AK 99619. The Government intends to acquire commercial items and services using the provisions, clauses, and procedures prescribed in FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13. The NAICS Code for this requirement is 517112.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact no later than 10 May 2025, at 1:00 p.m., Alaska time. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government.
