Notice of Intent to Sole Source for AKARNG C-207 SIPR Connections

The US Army intends to award a sole-source contract to The Chariot Group for SIPR connections. The contract will be for a firm-fixed-price and will have a period of performance of three months. The contractor will be required to provide a full suite of telecommunications and data services, including voice services, internet services, video services, and business support. The justification for the sole-source award is that only one vendor, The Chariot Group, possesses the existing infrastructure and capability to provide the required scope of services without incurring substantial and unacceptable delays and duplication of cost. • The contract is for a rural location with limited vendor options. • The contractor must provide services compatible with existing equipment owned by the State of Alaska. • The contract is expected to be awarded for $6,000.
