About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a single-source contract to Comcast Government Services, LLC for Dorm Wireless Internet Services at Joint Base Charleston. The contract will cover 12 Day Rooms across four campuses on the Air Base and Weapons Station, with a start date of June 1, 2025. This procurement is being conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1), which allows for single-source procurement when only one source is reasonably available. The notice specifically relates to a firm-fixed-price purchase order for base services plus four option years. Comcast is considered the sole vendor due to their ongoing franchise agreement renewal with Joint Base Charleston.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to procure wireless internet services for military dormitories with specific technical requirements. Contractors must provide internet services with a minimum acceptable speed of 50 MPBS and a download speed of 5 MBPS, including the installation of 13 modems and replacement of any obsolete equipment. Comcast will be responsible for technical support and equipment replacement. While the notice is not a competitive solicitation, responsible sources may submit a quotation for consideration, with the government retaining discretion on whether to proceed competitively. The deadline for responses is close of business on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, and interested parties should contact Contracting Officer Ms. Taylor McDaniel via phone at 843-963-4491 or email. The contract falls under the NAICS category of Wireless Telecommunications Carriers and will be funded through pre-funded Contract Line Items (CLINs) to ensure uninterrupted internet service.
