Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Cable TV and Internet Services CPS-2240-26-0008
Summary
AI-generated · Nov 19, 2025The government plans to award a sole-source contract to Comcast of Maryland Limited Partnership for continued internet and cable TV services at the sites. Comcast already owns the current infrastructure, including the point of entry, and the WiFi infrastructure at the sample storage facility relies on Comcast’s service level agreement; switching providers could cause service interruptions and delay restoration because another vendor would not have the same built-out infrastructure. Comcast is deemed the only responsible source capable of meeting these requirements.
The arrangement would run a base period of one year with four possible 12-month option periods, to be exercised sequentially. The procurement will be conducted as a simplified acquisition under FAR Subparts 12 and 13, with negotiations under FAR 13.106-1(b) and 41 U.S.C. 3304(b)(2)(B). This notice is not a competitive solicitation, but interested parties may submit a capability statement within seven business days showing they can meet the requirements; the government may decide not to compete based on responses. Written responses should be submitted to the contracting team per the notice.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announces its intention to negotiate and issue a sole source award to Comcast of Maryland Limited Partnership, One Comcast Center, 1701 JFK BLVD. Philadelphia PA 19103-2838 for continued internet and cable tv services. There will be service interruption and additional infrastructure requirements if the service is procured through another provider as Comcast has the current infrastructure built at the sites, including the point of entry for the service. Additionally, the operation and maintenance for the WiFi infrastructure at the sample storage facility is dependent on the Comcast service level agreement already in place. The procurement of another provider would delay restoration of services. Comcast is the only one responsible source that is able to satisfy agency requirements. The award would be for a base period of one (1) year and four (4) twelve-month option periods, if exercised each year, will run sequentially. CPSC intends to negotiate this requirement under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) and 41 U.S.C. 3304(b)(2)(B). The sole source procurement will be awarded as a simplified acquisition in accordance with FAR Subpart 12 & FAR Subpart 13 procedures.
