Quick Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), Office of Acquisition Management (OAM), intends to negotiate a sole-source contract with PRIMETRICA INC. for a TeleGeography Subscription. This one-year base contract is for the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to support its policy and international affairs functions. This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source, not a request for quotation or proposal. Responses from interested vendors are due by May 29, 2026.
Scope of Work
The subscription services involve access to TeleGeography's Data Center Research Service, Transport Networks Research Service, and IP Transit Database. This data is crucial for NTIA's Office of Policy and International Affairs (OPIA) to obtain verified, up-to-date information necessary for reports, analysis, policy development, and refinement related to telecommunications and information policy issues.
