Intent to sole source, telephone landline services

The National Park Service intends to award a sole source contract to Alaska Power Company to provide telephone landline services to all buildings within Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park in Skagway, Alaska. The base period of performance will be one year with four one-year option periods, and pricing, locations, and requirements will be modified annually to address the park's needs. Responses demonstrating how competition would benefit the government must be received by September 28, 2020, though any technical data received will only be used for market research.

This requirement is set aside as a total small business opportunity. Alaska Power Company is cited as the only provider of telephone landline services in Skagway, with a NAICS code of 517311 for wired telecommunications carriers. The contract is to be awarded as a firm-fixed price contract to the incumbent, Alaska Power Company, on September 30, 2020 under simplified acquisition procedures.
