About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 1, has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Comcast Cable Communications LLC for cable television services at the Jamaica Plain VA Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts. This procurement is being pursued under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, which permits acquisition from a single source when it is the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency's requirements. The contract will be for a base period of one year with four option years, and the Special Notice was posted on January 2, 2026. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 516210 (Media Streaming Distribution Services) and PSC code DG11 (IT and Telecom - Network: Satellite Communications and Telecom Access Services).
Responsible sources that believe they qualify to provide the cable services described in this notice may submit a response by the January 14, 2026 deadline at 8:00 AM EST to demonstrate their capability to deliver equivalent services. Interested contractors must submit detailed documentation that allows the government to conduct adequate market research and determine whether to pursue a competitive procurement rather than awarding sole source. The justification for sole sourcing is based on Comcast's existing proprietary cable infrastructure already installed throughout the facility; switching providers would require extensive and disruptive cable replacement that could impact patient care operations. The government has emphasized that this is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is currently available, but it retains sole discretion to determine whether competitive bidding should proceed based on the responses received and the market research findings.
