AI Contract Overview
The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contracting Office 15, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Cox Kansas Telcom LLC for uninterrupted bulk cable television service at the Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas. This action is justified under FAR 6.302-1, which permits non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source exists, and FAR Part 12, which governs the acquisition of commercial services. The existing cable infrastructure at the medical center is proprietary and fully compatible only with Cox’s system, making it technically infeasible for any other provider to deliver equivalent service without complete removal and replacement of aged wiring, distribution hardware, and related components. Such replacement would incur prohibitive costs, disrupt critical patient services, and pose significant risk to historically significant 1930s-era buildings, which limits the ability to modify infrastructure. Cox is currently maintaining service compatibility with this legacy system, and no alternative vendor can match this capability. Consequently, the Government has determined that no other supply or service would satisfy its minimum needs. This notice is not a solicitation for competitive bids, and no formal Request for Proposal will be issued. Interested parties may respond by submitting an Authorization Service Letter from Cox Kansas Telcom LLC, the Original Equipment Manufacturer, via email to Erika Kobulnicky by 7:00 AM CST on July 13, 2026, but the Government retains full discretion over whether to proceed with sole sourcing. The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 517111 and PSC S119, and the place of performance is the medical center’s address in Wichita. No contract value, payment details, invoicing method, or formal evaluation criteria have been provided, as this is an intent-to-sole-source notice under FAR Subpart 5.2. The sole requirement for response is the OEM authorization letter, with no other representations, certifications, packaging specifications, or inspection standards outlined.
