## Description

Peraton Government Communications, Inc. - Intent to Sole Source In accordance with The FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS), section 3.2.2.4, Single Source Selection, the purpose of this announcement is to inform industry of the basis for the FAA's decision to contract on a single source basis to Peraton Government Communications, Inc. for up to 10 months if all options are exercised (four (4) month option period and three two-month option periods.), thru January 31, 2027.

This satellite network uses primary and alternate satellites to meet FAA Order 6000.36 to provide system circuit diversity and redundancy, ensuring operational service continuity of critical, essential and routine air traffic control telecommunications services within the Alaska region. This announcement is for informational purpose only. A competitive solicitation is not available for this procurement. The FAA is not liable for any costs associated with the preparing of a response to this announcement.
