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

The General Services Administration (GSA) plans to negotiate a sole source contract extension with Cavalier Telephone LLC for contract GS03T09DS0001, continuing performance through May 31, 2023. The current contract, a regional Local Service Agreement (LSA) under NAICS code 517311 for Wired Telecommunications Carriers, is set to expire on May 30, 2020. This extension, estimated at $21 million shared, is authorized under FAR 6.302-7, which allows exceptions to full and open competition in the public interest. The extension is intended to provide additional time for agencies to transition from the existing RLSA contracts to the subsequent Enterprise Infrastructure-Solution (EIS) contracts, facilitating IT Modernization efforts. The GSA has determined that this contract extension supports enhanced cybersecurity, improves technical and operational efficiencies, and promotes long-term cost savings within the Mid-Atlantic region where the work is performed. This notice is not a formal solicitation but serves as an announcement of intent to negotiate and award the extension. The contracting officer responsible for this action is Jacqueline T. Stanback, based in Washington, DC, with contact details provided for further inquiries.
