26-SIMACQ-N03-0049 JA Americable Redacted_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Brand Name/Sole Source Justification under $250K for the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD). The document justifies procuring Commercial Internet Services from Americable International Japan, Inc. for the Combat Systems Project Engineer (CSPE) Office in Yokosuka Naval Base, Japan. Specifically, the service involves providing internet connectivity for personnel to access NMCI (Navy Marine Corps Intranet) services, technical websites, and communication systems via a Deployable Site Transport Boundary (DSTB) Flyaway Kit.

Americable is identified as the only on-base commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Yokosuka with an established infrastructure capable of meeting the military's unique requirements. The justification emphasizes that alternative providers would result in substantial delays, potential mission disruption, and significant infrastructure change costs exceeding $1 million. The document notes that obtaining services from another U.S. or Japanese provider would cause approximately a 2-year delay, which would be unacceptable for supporting naval base communications and operational needs. The procurement is deemed critical for maintaining internet connectivity for mission-essential personnel and activities.
