DG10--Guest Wi-Fi Bridge - CI

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 has issued a Special Notice for a Guest Wi-Fi Bridge service at the Des Moines VA Healthcare System. This notice announces the agency's intent to award a sole source contract to RESOLUTE PARTNERS, L.L.C. of Cheshire, Connecticut, under the authority of FAR 6.302-2 due to unusual and compelling urgency. The contract has a total value of $33,050.57 and will provide public access internet services for a 12-month period. The required services include management of ISP services, help desk support, and a technical support line staffed with technicians specifically trained in Motorola systems. The procurement falls under NAICS code 517112 for Wireless Telecommunications Carriers and PSC category DG10 for IT and Telecom Network as a Service.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the VA's intention to proceed with a sole source award while providing an opportunity for other qualified firms to express interest in the requirement. Interested contractors must submit written responses to Contract Officer Scott Morrison by 3:00 PM Central Standard Time on September 5, 2025, giving potential bidders only two days to respond. While the government will accept written submissions from interested parties, it retains complete discretion over whether to proceed with competition or continue with the planned sole source award. The urgency classification suggests the VA requires immediate implementation of these Wi-Fi bridge services to meet critical operational needs at the Des Moines facility. No specific eligibility criteria are outlined beyond the technical capability to provide the specialized telecommunications services and Motorola system expertise required.
