CTARNG DATA services

The United States Property and Fiscal Office for Connecticut plans to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to AT&T for ongoing data services under the designation CTARNG DATA services, with solicitation number W91ZRS26QXX02. This decision is based on the fact that AT&T’s infrastructure is already fully operational and embedded in current mission-critical systems, and switching providers would incur unacceptable duplication of setup and installation costs or cause significant delays that could compromise life and safety support functions. Given the absence of viable alternative vendors capable of meeting the immediate and essential operational needs, the government is invoking FAR 13.106(b)(1) to justify the non-competitive award, affirming that this action falls within its discretionary authority. No competitive bidding is being solicited, and any responses to this notice must conclusively demonstrate that future competition would offer measurable advantages to the government, which is not anticipated in this instance. The contract will be managed from the agency’s office in Hartford, Connecticut, with Edward Baird designated as the primary point of contact for all related inquiries.
