This purchase will be conducted under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul commercial procedures at RFO 12.102.

The applicable PSC is DG11 (IT and Telecom Network: Satellite Communications and Telecom Access Services). The attached sole source justification has been made available for review. No solicitation documents exist. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes or offers. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action lies solely within the discretion of the Government. Firms believing they have the capability to provide this requirement must submit written information showing clear and convincing evidence that they can deliver equivalent services to all listed BLM facilities using existing infrastructure without new construction or schedule risk, and that they can meet the Government's technical, performance, and continuity needs.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
- $T reported $122.4B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 54 past awards, $30K, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.

Materiality: one award's value as a share of the winner's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings (or its last fiscal year, as noted when you point at it). Low under 1%, Medium 1 to 5%, High 5% or more. Many awards are paid over several years, so this overstates a single year's share.
