D -- 50 Internet Protocol Routing Service ports with Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) access service for the Internet

The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS), the Department of Defense (DoD) Medical School and Health Sciences University, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Verizon Federal, Inc., utilizing the authority of FAR 6.302-1. To the best of the Contracting Officer's knowledge, Verizon Federal, Inc. is the only source available in the Washington DC area to provide Internet Protocol Routing Service (IPRS). A total of 50 IPRS ports with Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) access service for the Internet are required and will be awarded on a best value basis. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR A QUOTATION. However, if a company has reason to believe that it can meet or exceed all the needs of the university for this requirement, it may submit documentation to support its claim.
