Notice of Intent to Award
Solicitation # A060703
The Air Force Test Center intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Charter Communications Operating LLC, doing business as Spectrum Internet, for the procurement of base-wide Internet Protocol Television and digital signal distribution services at Edwards Air Force Base. The contract is structured with a one-year base period and four subsequent one-year option periods. This acquisition is pursued under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) because Spectrum is currently the only commercial provider with an active Authority to Operate and an established physical Service Delivery Point on the installation. The decision to bypass competitive bidding is based on the fact that establishing new infrastructure or obtaining a new Authority to Operate for another vendor would cause unacceptable delays and a substantial duplication of costs. While this notice is not a request for proposals, interested parties may submit capability statements by September 22, 2026, provided they can demonstrate existing physical infrastructure capacity at Edwards Air Force Base and a current Authority to Operate.
