- THE U.S. GOVERNMENT INTENDS TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT FOR THE FOLLOWING: The Office of the Chief of Public Affairs (OCPA) is tasked with quote mark telling the Army story quote mark to our shareholders, the American people. One aspect of that mission is transmitting web content to Army.mil site visitors seamlessly. Thus, it is imperative OCPA has a web service that makes it easy to distribute content with low latency via a global network of edge locations for the following reasons: -.To ensure a 99.99% availability rate - To ensure user access from the Internet on a 24/7 basis - To alleviate the majority of load from the AKO network, whose infrastructure is not equipped to handle OCPA's approximately 2.5 million visitors a month - To ensure no disruption in service during contract transition, which the new contract begins Sept. 29, 2013. This project requires support to OCPA to purchase bandwidth for one Base Year and 2 Option Years. The service shall be fast, simple, cost effective, elastic, reliable and global. The Contractor shall provide all equipment, tools, materials, and other items and non-personal services necessary to handle traffic for Army.mil. Authority Cited: (a) 10 USC 2304(c) (1) or 41 USC 253(c) (1); FAR 6.302-1: Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Reason for Authority Cited: X (a) Services can only be provided from the original source as this is a follow-on requirement for the continued provision of highly specialized services. X (b) Award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition.
