    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Naval Special Warfare Command, is seeking to procure a 200 Mbps transport circuit from Cox Communications between Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek and Joint Expeditionary Base Fort Story. This requirement is essential for extending the SOCOM SIE Network to support daily operations and mission requirements of NSW Commands at Fort Story. The procurement is classified as a sole source acquisition due to Cox Communications being the only provider with the necessary infrastructure in the area, making competitive bidding impractical. Interested parties can contact Kelly L. McNeill at kelly.mcneill@socom.mil for further information, noting that the contract will cover a one-year base period with four additional one-year options.

    Title
    Posted
    The document presents a Sole or Limited Sources Justification for a procurement over $3,500 by the Naval Special Warfare Command, centered on the need to limit competition to a single source provider, Cox Communications. The justification outlines that Cox is the only service provider capable of offering the necessary 200 Mbps transport circuit between Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek and Joint Expeditionary Base Fort Story, as it already possesses the required communication infrastructure. The absence of alternative providers capable of meeting operational requirements without significant delays or costs renders a competitive bidding process impractical. Furthermore, it indicates that market research supports the exclusivity of Cox's services in the area. The memorandum emphasizes the urgency and essential nature of the requirements for maintaining operational effectiveness in support of all Navy commands based in these locations. The document concludes with a statement regarding the government's commitment to continually monitor the market for potential changes in competition viability.
