Other / Unclassified

This document is a Memorandum for Record (MFR) justifying the use of other than full and open competition for an acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold. It outlines the background, description of the item or service, and the determination for sole-source procurement.

The service period is from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027, and includes Local Dial Tone, 911, 1-800, and other operational business calls.
