About this opportunity
The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Field Acquisition Office has awarded a sole-source contract to Frontier Communications of America for landline telephone service at Federal Correctional Institution Danbury in Danbury, Connecticut, with an estimated value of $36,500 for fiscal year 2026.
Frontier Communications is the sole local landline telephone service provider in the geographic area; no alternative providers exist. The justification rests on the natural monopoly structure of landline infrastructure, which makes this a restricted competition under FAR Part 12.102(a) for simplified acquisitions. Landline communications are critical for FCI Danbury's life safety operations, emergency response, continuity of operations, emergency medical needs for staff and inmates, and disaster response. The price has been determined to be fair and reasonable based on industry standards. The contracting officer, Laurel Karnes of the BOP Field Acquisition Office Oversight, Assistance, and Training Section (OATS)-East-NER, certified the justification on September 11, 2026.
