About this opportunity
The 628th Contracting Squadron at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina, issued a notice of intent to award a sole-source firm-fixed-price purchase order for fiber optic cable lease and maintenance services to Egan Brothers, Inc., with a response deadline of June 23, 2026, under FAR 12.102(a) authority for single-source procurements below the simplified acquisition threshold.
The contract covers a base term plus four option years with performance beginning October 1, 2026. Egan Brothers owns and previously installed the existing fiber lines connecting Joint Base Charleston Air Base to Naval Weapons Station, and the government asserts it is the only responsible source capable of providing the required infrastructure and maintenance services. The maintenance contract can only be performed by the fiber owner, and no other vendor is expected to be licensed to serve the base in the near future.
Although characterized as a notice of intent to award rather than a competitive solicitation, the government invites responsible sources to submit quotations for consideration. The determination to proceed with sole-source award or to compete the requirement remains solely within the government's discretion. This notice is informational only. Reference number is A061401.
