    3c - Statmenet of Work.pdf
    The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Training Center (TRACEN) in Petaluma, CA, requires a contractor to provide dedicated, reliable, non-standard broadband fiber internet service for its Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) control room. This service is critical for the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, which monitors and controls wastewater processes and alerts on-call personnel of anomalies. Due to the age of the SCADA software, a non-standard connection with a minimum dedicated bandwidth of 300 Mbps is necessary to ensure consistent remote access and prevent catastrophic system failures. The contract includes a one-year base period and four one-year option periods, with the primary place of performance at the WWTP in Petaluma, CA. The contractor must provide qualified personnel, maintain support continuity, comply with identification and conduct regulations, and furnish all necessary facilities, materials, equipment, and services.
    4d - JOTFOC_Redacted.pdf
    The U.S. Coast Guard issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition to secure internet services for the Wastewater Treatment Plant's (WWTP) SCADA system at TRACEN Petaluma. This action, dated January 2, 2026, cites FAR 12.102(a) and the rationale that only one source, AT&T Enterprises, LLC, is reasonably available. Market research confirmed that TRACEN Petaluma's geographical location is outside the service areas of other major internet providers, and AT&T exclusively owns the necessary fiber optic lines already in place. Engaging another provider would require new, costly fiber optic installations, causing unacceptable delays. Therefore, AT&T is deemed the sole provider capable of meeting the agency's requirements, with pricing determined through market research and additional rationale provided.
