    Description

    The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Comcast of Maryland Limited Partnership for the provision of cable TV and internet services at its facilities in Bethesda, Maryland. This procurement is necessary to maintain uninterrupted service and infrastructure, as Comcast has already established the required infrastructure at the sites, including the point of entry for the services. The CPSC emphasizes that switching to another provider would lead to service interruptions and delays in restoring services, particularly for the WiFi infrastructure at the sample storage facility, which relies on the existing service level agreement with Comcast. Interested parties may submit a capability statement to Contract Specialist Lydia Glasgow at lglasgow@cpsc.gov by 10 AM Eastern Time on February 18, 2025, to express their interest, although this notice is not a request for competitive quotations.
