About this file
This is a Justification for Sole Source procurement (Document 1301337462) prepared by NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center, Norfolk Contracting Department for maintenance services at the United States Naval Academy.
The procurement is for annual maintenance of the Distributed Antenna System (DAS) at USNA, to be performed by Allegheny Industries, Inc., located at 402 Center St, Mt. Airy, MD 21771 (CAGE Code 3ZSG0). The scope of work encompasses comprehensive system cleaning and performance tuning, delivery of detailed maintenance logs, remote diagnostic support, on-site service calls, and annual system 'data walks' to verify optimal operational functionality. The contractor must also supply three items: one Corning MRU PAM 17E 2100-Extended MRU Amplifier, one Corning MRU PAM 19 1900 MRU Amplifier, and 45 APC Batteries. The performance period is April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027.
The justification for sole source award is based on patent, copyright, or proprietary data limitations. The government asserts that USNA's Corning DAS is a complex, specialized system for which Allegheny Industries is the only local Corning-certified source capable of providing required maintenance without unacceptable delays and infrastructure risk. Allegheny installed 100% of the DAS across campus and has provided maintenance support for twelve years, giving them unparalleled familiarity with the specific technical requirements of installed cellular equipment, remotes, and amplifiers. The justification notes that soliciting alternative sources would introduce significant risk of service disruption and potential damage that could void existing warranties.
