Hampton roads COX circuits

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is procuring telecommunications circuitry and services for mission-critical infrastructure in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia through a sole source award to Cox Communications Hampton Roads LLC. The procurement is justified under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii) based on the requirement that only one responsible source exists due to proprietary infrastructure already in place, with no alternative suppliers capable of meeting agency needs. The contract will be awarded on a Firm-Fixed Price basis for commercial items, with evaluation conducted using a lowest priced technically acceptable (LPTA) methodology that considers technical capability to meet requirements and pricing. Offers will be evaluated based on past performance information retrieved from the Government-wide Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), with unknown past performance considered acceptable. The solicitation closing date is February 28, 2026, at 11:00 AM EST, with responses to be submitted via email to robert.p.joas.civ@us.navy.mil or kathryn.l.santos.civ@us.navy.mil; the contracting office point of contact is Robert Joas at 757-400-9433.

This procurement is classified as a sole source award to a large business with no set-aside designation used. Cox Communications Hampton Roads LLC is the current infrastructure owner and incumbent contractor, continuing service from the previous contract N7027225P0008. The contract award dollar amount and specific award date remain to be determined and are redacted in available documents, though the justification indicates that replacement infrastructure costs would create significant financial burden beyond current sustainment costs. The base performance period runs from March 1, 2026, through February 28, 2027, with three optional extension periods: one year (March 1, 2027–February 29, 2028), one year (March 1, 2028–February 28, 2029), and a six-month extension (March 1–August 31, 2029). Performance will take place at designated government-owned mission-specific locations throughout the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, with all contractor personnel requiring Common Access Card (CAC) credentials and completion of antiterrorism awareness and OPSEC training prior to facility access.
