X -- Tower Space Rental

The 354th Contracting Squadron plans to award a sole source contract to AT&T Alascom for providing tower space at three locations in Alaska: Harding Lake, Donnelly Dome, and Delta Junction. This requirement is proprietary, reflecting the necessity for a specific vendor due to unique circumstances. The contract will be executed under the provisions outlined in Federal Acquisition Regulation Circular 2005-13, with a NAICS code of 531120 and a size standard of $6.5 million in annual receipts. The contractor must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system, and commercial acquisition practices will apply. This notice is not a solicitation for competition but aims to gather any expressions of interest within five days from the publication date to determine if a competitive acquisition should be pursued. No solicitation documents will be issued, as the government maintains sole discretion over whether to move forward with a competitive process based on the responses received. The contract will be managed by the 354th Contracting Squadron located at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, under the Department of Defense. Points of contact include Lance M Belcher and Rebecca L Gregoroff, both contracting officers responsible for communication regarding this action. This action reflects the government’s intent to secure necessary tower space to support USAF operations in the specified Alaskan locations, leveraging a sole source acquisition due to proprietary considerations.
