Local Service Agreement Extension Notice-of-Intent

The General Services Administration (GSA) plans to extend the existing Regional Local Service Agreement (LSA) contract GS02T11CLD0016 with Cavalier on a sole source basis for continued service through May 31, 2023. This contract, which was originally set to expire on May 30, 2020, governs regional telecommunications services under NAICS code 517311, covering wired telecommunications carriers. The estimated value of this extension is approximately $68 million, shared among participating agencies. The extension is being executed under the FAR 6.302-7 public interest exception, which allows for a non-competitive sole source extension to maintain continuity and support ongoing IT modernization efforts as agencies transition from the WITS 3 contracts to the Enterprise Infrastructure-Solution (EIS) contracts. This extension is intended to promote enhanced cybersecurity, improve technical and operational efficiencies, and achieve long-term cost savings for the federal government. The work will be conducted across various locations in New York, New Jersey, and Puerto Rico. The notice clarifies that this is not a formal solicitation but rather a notice of intent to negotiate the contract extension. The GSA views this extension as essential for providing agencies additional time to effectively plan and implement infrastructure modernization without service interruptions. The contract specialist for this action is Steven R. Barry, located in Washington, DC.
