AI Contract Overview
The Consumer Product Safety Commission plans to renew its existing ethernet private line service with Comcast Business Communications LLC to maintain critical connectivity between its 5 Research Place facility in Rockville, MD and its headquarters at 4330 East West Hwy in Bethesda, MD. This service supports the last-mile infrastructure required for high-bandwidth data transmission, with existing Comcast infrastructure capable of delivering up to 10 Gigs of bandwidth. The contract also includes ongoing operation and maintenance of the WiFi infrastructure at the CPSC sample storage facility, which relies on the current Comcast service level agreement. The agency has determined that Comcast is the sole provider of this specific service because it owns and operates the physical last-mile connectivity between the two locations, and no other vendor can meet the requirement without undertaking costly and impractical new installations. The CPSC is proceeding under the authority of FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(B), which permits sole source awards when only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services can satisfy the agency’s needs. This is not a competitive solicitation, but any company that believes it can provide an equivalent service may submit written evidence to the Contract Specialist by 3 PM EST on August 11, 2026, to challenge the sole source determination. All submissions must be sent via email to ggrayson@cpsc.gov with sufficient detail to demonstrate capability, and no telephone inquiries will be accepted. The government retains full discretion to evaluate any responses and decide whether to proceed with a sole source award to Comcast or reopen the procurement. If no viable alternatives are received, the contract will be awarded directly to Comcast Business Communications LLC under solicitation number CPS-2240-26-0086.

Full Description
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) intends to award a sole source contract to Federal Supply Contract Holder Comcast Business Communications LLC, 1701 JFK Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19103 for the renewal service of the existing COMCAST ethernet private line service to support the “last mile” requirement for CPSC and connectivity between 5 Research Place in Rockville, MD and CPSC headquarters in 4330 East West Hwy, Bethesda, MD. The COMCAST infrastructure is in place at both locations to support bandwidths to 10 Gigs. Additionally, the operation and maintenance for the WiFi infrastructure at the CPSC sample storage facility is dependent on the COMCAST service level agreement already in place.
The government believes Comcast Business Communications is the sole provider and owner of the last-mile ethernet private line and metro ethernet service used by CPSC. Any other service provider would need to install the last-mile to both locations. This is not a request for additional ethernet lines. Comcast Business Communications is the only GSA Federal Supply Schedule Vendor capable of satisfying this requirement under the authority of FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(B), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirements. This notice is NOT a request for competitive quotes; however, any firm that believes it can supply the service may give written notice to the Contract Specialist via email at ggrayson@cpsc.gov, by 3PM EST on August 11, 2026. SUPPORTING EVIDENCE MUST BE FURNISHED IN SUFFICIENT DETAIL, to the above listed email address, Attn: Greg Grayson, Contract Specialist. NO TELEPHONE REQUESTS. Responses will be evaluated: however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no responses are received, CPSC will proceed with negotiating a sole source award to Comcast Business Communications LLC
