Description
This is a ?Notice of Intent? that the Government intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Cebridge Acquisition, L.P. dba Suddenlink Communications a contract to provide Television Programming Subscription Services Contract Description under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1. The rationale for soliciting sole source with the one source is that the cable television infrastructure (equipment and cable television lines used for this service) at the various locations on Cannon AFB, NM, is solely owned and operated by this commercial cable television provider. No other firm has the required infrastructure in place or the authority to use the existing one. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and services necessary to provide either satellite or cable television programming subscription services to Cannon AFB Government owned buildings. The Government will provide a location on Cannon AFB with adequate room for Contractor owned equipment. Adequate room will be made available to install the needed dish antennas or head-in system. The Contractor will be required to wire to the Government equipment, which is located in the Public Affairs office, to inject the Government Access Channel(s) signal. The Contractor will furnish, at their expense, all satellite receivers, hardware or cable boxes needed to provide television programming services to government administrative, lodging and public areas at Cannon AFB. This will include more than one receiver/cable box per building if needed. The capability must exist to change the channel at each television and to be able to watch different programming at each television at the same time. Satellite Contractors will minimize the number of satellite dishes required to provide coverage to Cannon AFB areas by using best available technology. NOTE: Residential television programming subscription service is not included in this solicitation. Currently, the cable television infrastructure at the various locations on Cannon AFB is owned and operated by an existing commercial cable television provider. Therefore, the prospective television-programming providers must furnish at its own expense necessary infrastructure to distribute the television-programming signal to all specified facilities. In instances where there is no existing cable infrastructure at a facility requiring television programming, the Contractor will provide and install all needed equipment. The Government Access channels must be available on all cable TV drops. The Contractor will provide a minimum of three tiers of service (1) Government Administrative Basic, (2) Government Lodging and (3) Government Public Viewing areas. Government Access Channel: The Contractor shall provide at no additional cost to the Government, at least one Government access channel on the system for noncommercial use by the Government. The system shall be designed and constructed to permit the Government to originate programming for the Government Access Channel from a single facility on the Base.
