The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contract Office 1, has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a contract to Comcast Cable Communications LLC for cable television and internet services at the Brockton VA Medical Center in Massachusetts. The procurement is being pursued under FAR 6.302-1 authority, which permits negotiation with a single source when no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The proposed contract will span one base year plus four option years, with a contract start date of January 29, 2026. The NAICS code for this requirement is 516210 (Media Streaming Distribution Services). The agency has issued this notice to allow other potentially qualified sources to submit documentation demonstrating their capability to provide comparable services before the government makes a final determination on whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to conduct market research and determine whether sources other than Comcast exist that could provide cable and internet services to the Brockton VA Medical Center. All interested contractors must submit detailed and relevant documentation to glorimar.estevezcortorreal@va.gov by January 16, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time to be considered. There are no specific eligibility criteria beyond being a responsible source capable of providing cable and internet services comparable to Comcast's offerings. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with the sole source award or conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received. Prospective contractors should note that this is not a formal Request for Proposals, no solicitation is currently available, and submitted information will be used exclusively for market research purposes.
