Local Service Agreement Extension Notice-of-Intent-

The General Services Administration (GSA) plans to negotiate a sole source contract extension with AT&T for the Regional Local Service Agreement (LSA) identified as GS02T07CLD0003, extending performance through May 31, 2023. This contract, originally set to expire on May 30, 2020, covers wired telecommunications services under NAICS code 517311 and supports operations across New York, New Jersey, and Puerto Rico. The extension, valued at an estimated $68 million, is authorized under the public interest exception to full and open competition (FAR 6.302-7) and aims to facilitate the ongoing transition from the WITS 3 contract to the Enterprise Infrastructure-Solution (EIS) contracts. The GSA considers this extension critical for enhancing cybersecurity, improving operational efficiency, and achieving long-term cost savings. This notice clarifies that it is not a formal solicitation but an indication of the agency's intent to continue contract performance while allowing additional time for IT modernization efforts. The agreement is managed by the GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) Center for IT Schedule Programs, with contract oversight provided by Contract Specialist Steven R Barry. The extension supports the continuity of essential telecommunications services in a key regional market, underpinning federal infrastructure initiatives during the transition period to updated enterprise solutions.
