GSA Regional Local Service Agreement (RLSA) Extension Notice-of-Intent-not-a-solicitation

The General Services Administration (GSA) plans to negotiate a sole source extension of the contract GS03T09DS0002 with Cavalier Telephone LLC, allowing continued performance through May 31, 2023. The current contract, a regional Local Service Agreement (LSA), is set to expire on May 30, 2020. This extension, valued at an estimated $21 million shared across agencies, is being pursued under the FAR 6.302-7 public interest exception, which permits an exception to full and open competition. The extension is intended to facilitate a smoother transition from the existing RLSA contracts to the Enterprise Infrastructure-Solution (EIS) contracts as agencies incorporate IT modernization efforts. The work falls under the NAICS code 517311 for Wired Telecommunications Carriers and will be performed in the Mid-Atlantic region. GSA justifies the extension by emphasizing benefits such as enhanced cybersecurity, improved technical and operational efficiencies, and long-term cost savings. This notification is not a formal solicitation but serves to inform interested parties of GSA’s intent to proceed with negotiation. Jacqueline T. Stanback is the designated Contracting Officer for this action, and the administrative office is based in Washington, DC.
