About this opportunity

The Special Notice published by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command announces the intent to award a sole source contract modification to Cellco Partnership doing business as Verizon Wireless. This modification is being made under the authority of FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(c) to extend the current mobile device contract for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.

The purpose of this sole source award is to acquire 65 cell phones, 135 iPhones, and 5 MiFis for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Point Loma location, with a period of performance from 05/01/2024 to 04/30/2025. The justification for the limited source is that the follow-on vehicle to the current Spiral 3 contract has not been completed, and awarding to a new vendor would require approximately one month of cell signal testing and a one to three-month overlap in service to transition the devices, which could cause a lapse in critical communication at the shipyard. The market research indicates that Verizon currently provides the best cell coverage and service at the shipyard. The Special Notice has a due date of April 10, 2024 for contractor responses.
