About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for cable television services at the Coatesville VA Medical Center in Coatesville, Pennsylvania. The notice regards awarding a sole source contract to Comcast for an annual pro-idiom cable TV subscription for 285 drop locations at the facility.
The sole source award to Comcast is intended to represent a logical follow-on to Comcast's previous installation of the pro-idiom transmission system at the medical center. Comcast's ownership of the required NBC Sports Philadelphia channel and lack of alternative providers such as Verizon Fios in the geographic area necessitate the noncompetitive award. The contract would consist of a base year and four option years for the cable television transmission services. No deadlines or eligibility criteria were provided, as this was sole source notice of intent rather than an open market procurement opportunity.
Notice text
New Requirement. Base + 4 Option Years. This requirement is for the purchase of an annual pro-idiom cable TV subscription for 285 drop locations at the Coatesville VAMC. This is a logical follow-on to the installation of the pro-idiom system installed by Comcast at the Coatesville VAMC.
Comcast s merger with NBC created an exclusive ownership of NBC Sports Philadelphia, a channel required by this requirement. Comcast has licensed NBC Sports Philadelphia to Verizon Fios, but Fios is not available in the geographic area of need.
Comcast has completed the installation of the pro-idiom transmission system at the Coatesville VAMC and NCO 4 intends to sole source the cable TV transmission requirement to Comcast.
