AI Contract Overview

The contract HC101317F0189 was awarded on August 22, 2018, by the Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO) at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, to Verizon Wireless through a non-competitive process under the U.S. Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground’s Next Generation Wireless Blanket Purchase Agreements. This firm fixed price agreement was established to procure wireless devices and extend wireless services supporting the Joint Service Provider (JSP) for an initial period from September 18, 2017, to September 17, 2018. A justification for this sole-source award was approved in May 2017 and later modified in April 2018 to ensure the uninterrupted availability of commercial wireless devices and services. The contract was initially intended as part of a broader consolidation effort for wireless service contracts; however, due to unforeseen delays in the consolidation process, a 12-month option period extension was exercised to maintain continuous service through September 17, 2019. This contract falls under NAICS code 517312, related to telecommunications services, and is administered by DITCO-Scott, with Joseph L. Santel and JaneAnne Holten designated as the primary points of contact for contract specialist and contracting officer roles, respectively. The contract's modifications and justifications align with Federal Acquisition Regulation provisions, specifically FAR 16.505, ensuring compliance and continuity of service for critical wireless communications within the Department of Defense. The award supports the agency's operational needs by providing necessary wireless device infrastructure and services, vital for Joint Service Provider mission requirements across multiple defense contracting agencies.

Full Description

The Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO), Systems Section, DITCO/PL8414, 2300 East Drive, Scott AFB IL 62225-5406 awarded HC101317F0189 on August 22, 2018 to Verizon Wireless. The order was awarded non-competitively utilizing United States (U.S.) Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) Next Generation Wireless Blanket Purchase Agreements (NGW-BPAs). The firm fixed price order was awarded to procure devices and extend wireless services in support of the Joint Service Provider (JSP) with a period of performance of September 18, 2017 through September 17, 2018. A justification pursuant to the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C) was approved on May 30, 2017 and subsequently modified on April 5, 2018 to ensure continuous commercial wireless devices and services remain available. This J&A covers several orders currently administered by multiple contracting agencies, to include the U.S. ACC-APG, and is provided as an attachment to this award synopsis in accordance with the requirements of FAR 16.505(b)(2)(ii)(D). Modificication P00001 was executed to include a 12-month option period. Under the Next Generation Wireless Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA), a 12-month base period and a 12-month option period is authorized. The original order was awarded for a 12-month period, as the agency was moving towards a consolidated contracting effort. Due to external factors, the agency is unable to consolidate all existing contracts prior to their current performance expiration; as such, a 12-month option extension is necessary to avoid a loss in service. This modification extends the period of performance from September 18, 2018 through September 17, 2019. DITCO-Scott is the contracting activity and all inquiries regarding this synopsis should be submitted electronically and directed to Joseph Santel, Contract Specialist, Phone +1 (555) 000-0000, or e-mail contact@example.gov.
