About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space Command, specifically the 30th Contracting Squadron at Vandenberg Space Force Base, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a procurement for commercial internet services to Inyo Networks Inc. The notice pertains to providing internet services for S4S facilities, with a NAICS code of 517111 - Wired Telecommunications Carriers. Market research indicates that Inyo Networks already has existing IT infrastructure at the facility, and the government has determined that competing this requirement would result in substantial and unrecoverable duplicate costs. The procurement will be conducted under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), which allows for a sole-source contract when specific conditions are met. The notice is categorized as a Total Small Business set-aside opportunity.
Contractors interested in challenging the sole-source determination must submit a detailed rationale explaining why they should be considered for the requirement by 1:00 PM PT on March 25, 2025. The government will review all responses and solely determine whether to compete the procurement based on the submissions received. Eligible contractors should note that no reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with submitting capability information. The proposed contract will be negotiated with Inyo Networks Inc., with points of contact being Contracting Officer Jake Hluska and Contracting Specialist Jeff Weeks. To participate, interested parties must send their responses directly to the provided email addresses, demonstrating their capability to provide equivalent or superior commercial internet services. The government's decision will be based on a comprehensive assessment of the responses received during this short window of opportunity.
