This special notice, issued in compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 5.101, indicates the agency's intent to award a sole source contract rather than conduct competitive bidding. The opportunity falls under NAICS code 516210 (Media Streaming Distribution Services) and PSC code DD01 (IT and Telecom Service Delivery Support). This is a notification of proposed contract action and should not be interpreted as a request for competitive proposals or quotes.
The contractor selected for this sole source award will be responsible for providing comprehensive CATV services, including installation and maintenance of head-end and unique systems equipment, all necessary personnel, equipment, tools, materials, vehicles, and supervision. Key service requirements include customer support with proactive maintenance and repair management, quarterly testing and measurement of the service system in accordance with FCC regulations (47 CFR Part 76), and emergency response protocols requiring technician arrival within one hour of service outage notification. The contractor must maintain CATV signal quality, provide timely communication regarding system changes such as channel additions or frequency adjustments, and demonstrate environmental stewardship and responsible fiscal administration. The due date for this notice was December 11, 2025, indicating the announcement follows the stated deadline. As a sole source procurement, this opportunity does not involve competitive eligibility criteria; rather, it represents DISA's determination that a single contractor possesses unique qualifications or capabilities necessary to fulfill these specialized CATV and telecommunications infrastructure requirements.
