The Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") intends to negotiate and award a sole-source purchase order for the procurement of cable television and internet service from Charter Communications Holdings LLC, doing business as Spectrum. The address for these services is 290 Broadway, APT 6155, New York, NY 10007. The Government intends to procure this requirement under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) “the property or services needed by the executive agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the executive agency.” CFTC intends to award a purchase order for these services for one year.

Spectrum is the only vendor that offers both television and internet service at the noted service address, and CFTC knows of no alternative source that can meet the requirements.
