About this opportunity
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), a civilian agency within the Department of the Treasury, has issued a Special Notice for a sole source purchase order to lease an antenna site located in Lexington, Kentucky. The contract opportunity is specifically targeted for Crown Communication LLC and is categorized under the NAICS code 531390 for Other Activities Related to Real Estate. The procurement will cover a base year from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2026, with an additional option year extending from May 1, 2026 to April 30, 2027. The notice is being published under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) and will be processed as a commercial service in accordance with FAR Part 12. The unique requirement is centered on maintaining critical Criminal Investigation (CI) radio coverage in the specified geographical area.
Interested contractors have until February 27, 2025 at 5:00 PM EST to submit written capabilities statements to the IRS contact, Mach.Ngo@irs.gov, demonstrating their potential to meet the contract requirements. The opportunity is set aside for total small business participation, and the IRS retains sole discretion in evaluating submitted capabilities and determining whether to compete the contract action. The justification for the sole source approach emphasizes agent safety and the critical positioning of the antenna site, which has been validated through detailed propagation studies ensuring maximum radio coverage for Criminal Investigation operations. Contractors should note that only written submissions via email will be considered, and questions submitted through alternative communication channels will not be acknowledged. The contract is fundamentally about leasing an antenna site that provides strategic communication coverage for IRS Criminal Investigation operations.
Notice text
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to award a sole source purchase order to CROWN COMMUNICATION LLC for the lease of the antenna site at LEXINGTON, KY. A purchase order will be issued for a Base Year and one Option Year as follows:
Period of Performance (POP):
Base Year: 05/01/2025 – 04/30/2026
Option Year 1: 05/01/2026 – 04/30/2027
Due to the uniqueness of this requirement, and the geographical location of the antenna site, no other location is acceptable. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. A written solicitation will not be issued, and quotes are not being requested. The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority FAR 13.106-1(b). This service is being solicited and awarded as a commercial service in accordance with FAR Part 12.
Justification: This is an agent safety issue. The Contractor operates the antenna site that is uniquely located in an area which allows Criminal Investigation (CI) to maintain maximum coverage in the respective city. Furthermore, the IRS has already performed detailed propagation studies based on the elevation and placement on the tower that ensures CI gets maximum radio coverage at the location identified above.
Responsible sources may identify their interest and capabilities to meet the requirements by submitting capabilities statements in writing to the IRS Primary Point of Contact via email no later than Thursday, February 27, 2025 by 5:00 PM, EST. It is solely within the discretion of the IRS to evaluate your capabilities, and to make a determination whether to compete this contract action.
Any questions regarding this action should be directed to the IRS Primary Point of Contact via email at Mach.Ngo@irs.gov. Questions received through phone calls, fax, or mail will not be acknowledged or responded.
