The subject automated broadband testing is accomplished using a network of volunteer participants, is performed at pre-scheduled intervals and includes checks to avoid interfering with the consumer's use of broadband services during testing. SAMKNOWS LTD currently provides this service in more than 30 countries.

Please note that this is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement that will be considered by the agency. Responses may be sent via e-mail to the e-mail address below. Responses must include the following information: 1) Company Name, 2) Address, 3) Point of Contact information with telephone number and email address, 4) DUNS Number, 5) Capabilities information/statement demonstrating the ability to successfully fulfill the Government requirement as described herein and 6) "CPC1500001" in the e-mail subject line. Any costs incurred in response to this notice will NOT be reimbursed. Information received as a result of this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the FCC not to open the requirement to competition, based on responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the FCC. If this office has not received any affirmative written responses by 5:00PM ET on November 28, 2014, then a sole source FFP award will be pursued with SAMKNOWS LTD of 25 Harley Street, London UK.
