Intent to Sole Source - Cable Television Services

The United States Air Force intends to award a sole source contract to Cable One, Inc. for cable television services at Keesler Air Force Base. The contract will provide six months of cable television services, including 24-hour news and weather, public broadcast services, major networks, sports channels, and family-oriented programming. The services will be provided to 260 drops, excluding lodging. The contract is being awarded on a sole source basis because Cable One, Inc. is the only vendor with existing infrastructure on the base, and removing and replacing the equipment would cause a break in services and increase costs. • The contract will provide cable television services to Keesler Air Force Base, excluding lodging. • The services will include 24-hour news and weather, public broadcast services, major networks, sports channels, and family-oriented programming. • The contract will be for a period of six months. • The contract is being awarded on a sole source basis due to the existing infrastructure and the potential for a break in services if the equipment is removed and replaced.
