The procurement is being conducted under the Federal Supply Schedule authority FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C) with a total contract value of $539,256.79. The contract structure includes a base period of six months from August 1, 2025 to January 31, 2026, with two optional three-month extension periods.
The purpose of this notice is to inform potential contractors of the government's intent to award sole source while providing an opportunity for other capable vendors to submit capability statements demonstrating their ability to provide the required services.

All responding organizations must ensure their submissions are complete, detailed, and contain no proprietary or sensitive information, as the government reserves the right to use any non-proprietary technical information in future solicitations. This bridge contract is intended to ensure service continuity while IHS develops a re-compete action, with the subsequent acquisition anticipated to be competed under GSA's Wireless Mobility Solutions Multiple Award Schedule. The government maintains full discretion to terminate the intended sole source acquisition based on responses received and is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of capability statements or provide feedback to respondents.
