JA Telecommunications_Redacted.pdf

This is a Sole Source Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a Firm Fixed Price contract for commercial telecommunications services under FAR 13.5 simplified acquisition procedures.

The contracting activity is NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center San Diego (NAVSUP FLCSD), with the requiring activity as Commander, Navy Region Southwest (CNRSW) N6 at Naval Air Station (NAS) Fallon, Nevada. The contract will be awarded to C.C. Communications, DBA Churchill County Telephone (CC Communications), located in Fallon, Nevada, for the provision of Base Telephone System (BTS) telecommunications services. The contract period is one year base (effective 02 April 2026 through 01 April 2027) with two one-year option periods. The total estimated contract value is redacted but exceeds $1 million, requiring higher-level approval. The acquisition is exempt from certified cost or pricing data requirements per FAR 15.403-1.

The justification establishes that CC Communications is the sole source capable of providing these services because it owns and operates the entire proprietary telecommunications infrastructure at NAS Fallon, including switching equipment, fiber optic backbone cabling, integrated system features, and critical endpoints serving mission-essential and life-safety functions. The location is approximately 70 miles from the nearest metropolitan area, and any transition to an alternative vendor would require costly construction, infrastructure duplication, and create significant service disruption risks. Market research was conducted through a Sources Sought notice published on SAM.gov on 16 December 2025 with a closing date of 07 January 2026, which identified two vendors whose responses were determined non-viable due to lack of required access to the proprietary infrastructure. A synopsis notice will be published on SAM.gov. The certifications were signed on 02/24/2026 by the Technical Requirements Officer (Shanna Schroeder), Legal Sufficiency Reviewer (Andrew McCabe), Contracting Officer (Russell McCullough), and Competition Advocate (Latrice Simpkins-Varganovy).
