The Barksdale Air Force Base's 2nd Contracting Squadron intends to award a sole source contract to Cebridge, operating as Optimum, for internet services through a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). This decision follows FAR 13.106-1(b), which allows for soliciting from a single source when deemed necessary. The BPA aims to provide flexible and streamlined internet service procurement, addressing the fluctuating connectivity demands across various base departments. Cebridge's established role as the current internet service provider enables a seamless continuation of services while minimizing potential disruptions from transitioning to another provider. Market research supports this choice, indicating that switching would pose risks to critical operations and require significant infrastructure updates. As such, firms interested in contesting this sole source designation must present compelling evidence of their capability to meet the base's needs without incurring excessive costs or delays. Any inquiries regarding the acquisition can be directed to designated Contracting officials.
