S119--PATIENT CABLE TV -Martinsburg VA Medical Center
Solicitation # 36C24526Q0682
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Martinsburg VA Medical Center, intends to sole source a purchase order to DIRECTV for the ongoing provision of cable television services to support patient care rooms, waiting areas, and designated business locations. The service will maintain 390 patient and 56 business television connections with continuous 24/7/365 availability, ensuring programming that enhances patient comfort, satisfaction, and therapeutic care.

The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed price agreement under the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with the government developing an independent cost estimate to validate pricing fairness relative to current costs. The base performance period is one year, with four optional one-year extensions contingent on performance and funding. The solicitation number is 36C24526Q0682, with a response deadline of August 7, 2026, and the NAICS code 516120 applies. All inquiries and requests for the statement of work should be directed to Contracting Officer Cassie White at cassie.white@va.gov or 304-263-0811.
