- Description
- The Government intends to issue a sole source modification to AT&T Communications, Government Solutions, 1900 Gallows Road, Vienna, VA 22182. The proposed modification is a continuation and extension of work performed by AT&T under contract DCA200-97-D-0054 that was competitively awarded in February 1997. This contract requires AT&T to provide network and hub operations for DISN Video Services (DVS). A follow-on competition is in process and the anticipated award is March 2006 with full opertional capability by March 2007. This modification provides a continuation of support through February 2007 providing for implementation of the DVS II contract. AT&T owns and operates all the equipment and proprietary software for the existing DISN Video Services under the DVS-G contract. The Network Operations Center is located in an AT&T facility in Dranesville, VA. The government is unable to turn operations over to another vendor since they do not own any of the equipment. AT&T is the only vendor to incorporate both dial-up and dedicated Video Teleconference Facilities (VTFs) and provide classified support at the level of security required in the time frame available. To maintain operational readiness and continuous capability to perform its primary mission, DOD cannot afford any disruption of DVS-G services. AT&T provides this secure service at a reliability of 99.6% on dedicated transmission links. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. See Numbered Note 22.
