    The U.S. Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command is soliciting a single-source contract for cable and internet services from Spectrum for the Human Resources Command (HRC) at three critical locations in Fort Knox, starting 30 September 2024. The justification for this procurement follows FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), stating that only one source is considered reasonably available. Spectrum is the sole provider due to its existing infrastructure in place, which would minimize performance risks and prevent potential service disruptions. Shifting to a new vendor would necessitate extensive cabling work, posing security threats and delays in service continuity. Hence, Spectrum is deemed essential for maintaining uninterrupted operational capability and monitoring capabilities critical to HRC's mission support. The contracting decision emphasizes sustainability, security, and reliability in fulfilling the urgent needs of the Army's operational framework.
