Action:

This is a notice of intent to award a sole-source, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract to Copper Valley Telecom for comprehensive telecommunications services.

The basis for the sole-source determination is the rural location of the place of performance, where only one vendor, Copper Valley Telecom, possesses the existing infrastructure and capability to provide the required scope of services. No other provider has been identified that can meet the Government's minimum requirements without incurring substantial and unacceptable delays and duplication of cost to establish a new service infrastructure.

-Voice Services
-Wireless Services
-Internet Services
-Television and Video Services
-Business Support
