Notice of intent to award single/sole source

The 184 Wing, Kansas Air National Guard, intends to award a single source, firm fixed price contract as authorized by FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) to AT&T Corp. for the purchase of Local Telecommunication Service (LTS).

The objective of this acquisition is to procure both local and long-distance service needed by the 184 Wing, Kansas Air National Guard. The local telecommunications service requested is currently being provided by AT&T. Intent is to contract an additional year of service before the Wing telecommunications are rolled under the active-duty component through mandatory migration of 1-Base-1-Network.
