The contract, titled TDM Gap Contract with solicitation number 70Z07926CISD30002, is a sole-source award to Verizon Business Network Services, LLC, issued by the U.S. Coast Guard’s C5I Division 1 in Alexandria, Virginia, under the Department of Homeland Security. It is designed to sustain legacy enterprise-wide data transport services—including Rescue 21, Vessel Traffic Service, Communication Services Network, and miscellaneous circuits—through May 31, 2026, or until transition to the follow-on contractor, AT&T, whichever is later. The scope includes maintaining existing point-to-point Time-Division Multiplexing and broadband internet circuits, preserving current configurations, and terminating connections upon official notification, ensuring uninterrupted operational support for critical USCG systems nationwide, with primary oversight centered in Alexandria, VA. The acquisition is justified under FAR 6.103-1(c)(2)(ii) and 10 U.S.C. § 3204 due to the unique, proprietary infrastructure deployed by Verizon, which poses unacceptable risk of service disruption if replaced prior to the planned transition. Funding is sourced from FY2026 Operations and Support funds, though the exact contract value is not disclosed, and no line-item pricing or CLIN structure is provided. The contract operates without formal evaluation factors, as competition is precluded, and no packaging, marking, inspection standards, or special contractual requirements such as security clearances or key personnel designations are specified. Performance is evaluated solely on continuity of service, adherence to legacy configurations, and readiness for transition, with acceptance occurring at operational sites under the oversight of the USCG technical representative who certified the requirement on May 7, 2026. The contract is expected to be firm fixed price in structure, though not explicitly stated, and no socioeconomic, size, or offeror representations are included, as the award is based entirely on operational necessity and incumbent capability.
