About the company
Cable One, Inc., operating as Sparklight, a subsidiary of Graham Holdings Company based in Phoenix, Arizona, supplies commercial broadband internet, cable television, and Wi-Fi infrastructure services to federal agencies as a prime contractor competing on full-and-open purchase orders and blanket purchase agreements without set-aside designations. The vendor holds 204 prime awards (100% of recent activity) across 32 federal agencies, with no subcontract footprint; the portfolio spans recurring telecommunications services ranging from facility-level internet subscriptions and cable TV installations to multi-year broadband infrastructure agreements at military installations.
Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration (57 awards, $145 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of Veterans Affairs, whose Veterans Integrated Service Networks collectively hold 36 awards valued at approximately $997 thousand. The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command (AETC) anchors the highest-dollar segment despite placing only nine awards, with $1.2 million in combined potential value driven by three blanket purchase agreements: a $249,999.99 agreement for Keesler Air Force Base internet services extending through June 2027, a $24,000 agreement for cable television at Columbus Air Force Base through December 2026, and a $24,000 agreement for internet services through October 2025. The concentration split reflects a business model of high-touch account management across many small federal facilities (DEA and VA networks) supplemented by larger infrastructure contracts at DoD installations.
Sparklight's top parent vehicles include an indefinite delivery contract (F2260093D0014) carrying five task orders, a VA-managed IDC (VA25814D0026) with five task orders worth $122 thousand, and a contract (36C25819D0002) with four task orders valued at $183 thousand. Representative awards include a $20,919.10 definitive contract with TACOM Life Cycle Management Command for four-account internet service subscription to Anniston Army Ammunition Depot through November 2029; a $14,064.48 Navy purchase order for 1 Gigabit business internet, modem leasing, and Wi-Fi service to Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans through August 2026; a $9,676.92 FEMA purchase order for high-speed data internet service at a Phoenix facility through August 2027; and a $50,000.00 Department of Defense Southwest Region BPA for cable and internet services at Fort Leonard Wood through April 2031. Activity has declined in recent years — nine awards in 2024 followed by five in 2025 and three in 2026 — with only one award completing in the next twenty-four months (potential value $10 thousand), presenting limited recompete exposure in that window.
The vendor's NAICS footprint centers on wired telecommunications carriers (63 awards) and cable and other subscription programming (33 awards), with secondary exposure in wireless telecommunications. Sparklight's corporate structure includes ten named subsidiaries — Hargray Communications Group, Fidelity Telephone LLC, Comsouth Telecommunications, Fidelity Cablevision, Hargray Telephone Company, and others — reflecting the parent Graham Holdings Company's diversified regional broadband portfolio. Sparklight competes as a commercial provider with no women-owned, small disadvantaged, 8(a), HUBZone, or VOSB designations; the vendor's federal positioning targets commodity broadband infrastructure and recurring telecom services to civilian agencies and subordinate military training commands rather than complex IT modernization or defense prime work.
