About this opportunity
The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts' Defender Services Office issued a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) on March 16, 2026, for the award of managed Unified Communications services to AT&T under GSA contract GS00Q17NSD3000. The procurement encompasses subscription to a managed Cisco Unified Communications service supporting approximately 3,300 users across 135 physical locations, including voice telephone services, managed call center infrastructure, connectivity to public and private networks, and technical support. AT&T was selected as the sole-source provider because its the only vendor capable of leveraging existing Government-Furnished Equipment to minimize transition complexity and costs, while the agency's current telecommunications contract through GSA Networx expires in May 2026 without extension options and a replacement Lumen contract has experienced significant delays that have pushed the UC migration completion to October 2026. The base contract period runs from April 1, 2026, through September 30, 2026, with two optional periods extending through September 30, 2027, serving as a bridge solution to maintain critical communication services for Federal Defender Office attorneys until the migration to Lumen is complete. Although the specific award amount was not disclosed in this posting, the justification indicates the procurement supports essential telecommunications infrastructure for the federal judiciary's defender operations nationwide.
