The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville, intends to award a sole-source contract for cable services at Naval Station Mayport, Florida, exclusively to Comcast Government Services, LLC. This decision is based on Comcast being the only provider with an existing infrastructure on the installation, including proprietary equipment that supports current service to vital facilities such as piers and fitness centers without requiring additional cable boxes. The applicable NAICS code for this procurement is 517111. Interested parties must submit a written response within six calendar days of the notice, with supporting evidence of their capability to meet the requirements. If no alternative proposals are received, NAVSUP will proceed with the sole-source acquisition. Responses should be directed to the Contract Specialist, Maria Brophy.

The memorandum discusses the use of sole source procurement under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold for the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) and the Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron (Blue Angels), which requires Microsoft Azure to manage their website and digital content. According to FAR regulations, the memorandum justifies the absence of competition by identifying Microsoft Azure as the only responsible source due to established proprietary and exclusive licensing rights. The application is crucial for managing digital content for approximately 35-40 flight shows annually, ensuring connectivity between event locations and the main office in Pensacola, FL. The lack of an alternative, approved application under the Department of Navy system emphasizes the urgency and necessity of this acquisition. The period of performance for the contract is slated for 365 days from issuance. The memorandum certifies the imperative nature of timely approval to prevent operational disruptions, reinforcing Microsoft Azure's unique position as the sanctioned provider for this essential service.
