## Description

This intent to sole source announcement is posted in accordance with FAR 5.2- Synopsis of Proposed Contract Actions.

**Background:** The purpose of this requirement is to provide Beckely VA Medical Center with cable television services for patient use televisions.

**Objective:** Contractor shall provide limited basic and expanded basic cable television services for approximately 150 locations through-out the Beckley VA Medical Center in accordance with the attached Statement of Work (SOW) (See attached copy of SOW)

**Unique Qualifications:** Cequel Communications LLC, has provided cable service to Beckley VA Medical Center and is the current service provider.
