D -- Internet Service and Land Line Telephone Service

The United States Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) plans to award two sole source contracts in an open market for uninterrupted high-speed internet service and landline telephone service. These awards correspond to the NAICS codes 518111 for Internet Service Providers and 517110 for Wired Telecommunications Carriers. The CSB emphasizes the critical need for continuous, uninterrupted service, requiring that any new installations or service changes either maintain service without disruption or be completed entirely during non-business hours to avoid any impact on operations. Interested parties must submit affirmative responses by 12:00 pm ET on October 1, 2007, to be considered for the contract; requests for additional information do not count as affirmative responses. Contact information is provided for inquiries, with Alan Dotson available via phone or email, and Wayne G. Buechler designated as the Contracting Officer. The contract aims to ensure reliable telecommunications infrastructure to support the agency’s operational requirements without service interruptions.
