Eligibility / Set-Aside
This is a sole-source action justified under 10 U.S.C. 3406(c)(5) as implemented in FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B). The Department of Defense (DoD) has mandated the use of the Naval Supply (NAVSUP) Spiral 4 wireless contract for all components to procure UNCLASSIFIED wireless mobile services and devices. AT&T Mobility National Accounts, LLC is identified as the sole provider on this contract vehicle capable of offering access to the FirstNet network, which is essential for the WVARNG's mission.
Additional Notes
An Intent to Sole Source was previously posted on SAM.gov for 15 days, with no other actions taken to increase competition due to the Spiral 4 mandate. Market research confirmed that neither UNICOR nor AbilityOne could provide the required service. The FirstNet network was established under the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 to enhance public safety communications.
