DG11--Brockton Cable Television

The Department of Veterans Affairs awarded a firm-fixed-price contract, number 36C24126P0182, to Comcast Cable Communications Management LLC for cable television and internet services at the Brockton VA Medical Center. The contract was awarded on a sole-source basis under FAR 6.302-1 and FAR 13.106-1, as Comcast is the only provider with the proprietary infrastructure already installed at the facility. This non-competitive approach was justified to avoid the prohibitive costs and operational disruptions to patient care that would result from replacing the existing system. The total award value is $83,110.20. The period of performance begins on January 29, 2026, and consists of a base year ending January 28, 2027, with four subsequent option years extending the potential service period through January 28, 2031. Under NAICS code 516210, the contractor is responsible for the provision, installation, and ongoing maintenance of services to ensure uninterrupted connectivity across all campus buildings. Contract administration is managed by the Network Contract Office 01, with the Northampton VA Medical Center serving as the payment office.
