What this contract is for

NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center San Diego (FLCSD) intends to award a Sole Source contract to Cox Communications (Cox California Telcom L.L.C.) in accordance with Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 12.102(a) Restricting competition and RFO 5.101 Presolicitation Notice, as only one source is reasonably available to fulfill this requirement. Commander, Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet (COMNAVSURFPAC) requires continuous commercial cable television (CATV) and broadband internet modem services at Naval Amphibious Base (NAB) Coronado, Buildings 11 and 14. This sole source requirement is for a 12-month base period (August 11, 2026, through August 10, 2027) with four (4) 12-month option periods. Cox Communications is the incumbent provider of these commercial cable television and broadband internet services under purchase order N00244-21-P-0445. The existing services utilize Cox-owned telecommunications infrastructure that is currently installed, configured, and operational. Transitioning to another provider would require engineering surveys, the installation of new telecommunications infrastructure, replacement of existing customer premise equipment, network reconfiguration, and extensive testing. A continuation of services with the incumbent provider avoids a substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and mitigates unacceptable delays and operational disruptions to mission-essential operations, situational awareness, and administrative support. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive quotes or proposals. No formal solicitation or RFQ will be forthcoming. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, quotation, bid, or proposal, as appropriate, which will be considered by the agency....

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
