About this opportunity
The Department of Justice's Federal Bureau of Prisons, through the Federal Correctional Complex Yazoo City in Mississippi, is issuing a Notice of Intent to sole-source a firm-fixed-price contract to AT&T Corporation for Fiscal Year 2027 commercial telecommunications infrastructure, network connectivity, and equipment, with responses due November 18, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST. No set-aside is used, and the award rests on FAR 6.103-5(c)(1), Only One Responsible Source. The agency states that AT&T is the only commercial provider with the pre-existing network grid and physical infrastructure to meet the requirement, and that alternate sources would require extensive custom buildouts, duplicating costs and causing unacceptable operational delays. The requirement covers secured commercial data networks, telecommunications trunking, and mission-critical network equipment routing supporting operational connectivity and safety communications. The notice states this is not a request for competitive proposals and asks for capability statements showing an identical, off-the-shelf commercial network capable of meeting the requirement, emailed to the Contracting Officer at c3tate@bop.gov by the closing date. The attached notice adds that responsible sources may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations, and that the decision to compete remains at the government's discretion. The attachment lists the closing time as 4:00 PM CDT, which conflicts with the structured 4:00 PM EST deadline. The NAICS code is 517111 (Wired Telecommunications Carriers), and the PSC is 5805 (Telephone and Telegraph Equipment).
