Wireless Services Out-of-Scope Modification

This contract amendment modifies the existing Verizon Spiral 4 IDIQ contract W912R1-25-F-A015 to procure additional wireless services, devices, and accessories in support of the Make DC Safe and Beautiful mission and ongoing District of Columbia Army National Guard operations. The modification is an out-of-scope, sole-source action justified under FAR 16.507-6(b)(3) as a logical follow-on to the original task order, ensuring operational continuity, technical integration with the Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK), and avoidance of the risks and costs associated with transitioning to a new vendor. The base period runs from June 1, 2026, through September 29, 2026, with four one-year option periods extending performance through September 29, 2030, though the final option year will no longer support the MDCSAB mission. Deliverables include 1,946 unlimited data plans with secure Private APN connectivity to DoD Cloud, 1,860 Android ATAK devices for Blue Force tracking and Common Operating Picture capabilities, 30 iPad Pro kits with Magic Keyboards for field commanders, and 1,993 phone cases for Android and iPhone devices. The work is performed entirely within the District of Columbia, with emphasis on seamless urban and subterranean coverage, including Metro tunnels, where a single-vendor solution is critical to prevent digital blind spots that could compromise safety and mission effectiveness. Funding is sourced from FY-26 Operations and Maintenance funds, and the contract is awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis under the Navy’s Spiral 4 indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity vehicle. The modification is processed without competitive bidding due to the incumbent’s deep integration with mission-critical infrastructure, pre-accredited secure network configurations, and the operational hazards of introducing a new provider, which would trigger re-accreditation delays, service disruptions, and increased risk. Verizon Wireless, identified by CAGE code 1HWU7, is the sole contractor, with delivery and performance coordinated through the United States Property and Fiscal Office for the District of Columbia National Guard at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling. Payment is managed by the same office, though specific remittance details and invoicing systems are not provided. While no unit prices or total contract value are disclosed, the justification includes certifications from the Contracting Officer and Chief Information Officer affirming the reasonableness of cost, technical necessity, and data
