About this opportunity

The Federal Maritime Commission has awarded a sole-source logical follow-on task order to Lumen Technologies for voice and data services under the Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions contract vehicle, effective September 30, 2026 through September 29, 2027, valued at $592,754.31.

The justification asserts that Lumen is the sole provider with established infrastructure and technical expertise to sustain FMC's telecommunications services without interruption. Transitioning to another EIS contractor would require replacement of network equipment, firewall configuration changes, VoIP equipment installation, and new circuit provisioning, creating a 2 to 4 month service disruption risk that could compromise network operations and secure system access. Services include IP Voice Services with 80 concurrent call paths and approximately 184 DID numbers, two toll-free numbers, a 1000 Mbps Ethernet circuit via MTIPS, Managed Network Services, secure remote access through Zscaler, and DDoS protection with monitoring and remediation capabilities.

The justification cites FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C) authority. The contracting officer determined pricing fair and reasonable based on EIS established contract rates. FMC commits to conducting a competitive acquisition during the follow-on period and posting the intent to issue a logical follow-on on SAM.gov. Required approvals from the Head of the Contracting Activity and Competition Advocate have been obtained, as the estimated value exceeds the $250,000 threshold but does not exceed $500,000.
