About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command intends to award a sole-source contract modification to TELECOM ITALIA SPA (TIM) for microwave relocation site survey, Ericsson multiplexer procurement and system integration, and 28KW energy station procurement and power integration at Sigonella U.S. Naval Air Station, with an estimated modification value of $571,561.39.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), designating TIM as the only responsible source capable of fulfilling requirements without unacceptable delays. TIM holds exclusive operational control of host-nation Italian telecommunications facilities, possesses proprietary knowledge of frequency concessions and transmission characteristics, maintains existing responsibilities under the base contract N6817125C0006, and must integrate with proprietary network architecture currently operated by TIM. The Government conducted maximum practicable competition by posting a notice of intent to award on SAM.gov on September 11, 2026, with a response deadline of September 18, 2026; no responses were received. The modification extends through December 29, 2030, encompassing a base period through June 29, 2026, and four 12-month option periods plus a 6-month extension. Funding is drawn from Operation and Maintenance, Navy FY 2026 appropriations. Future requirements of this nature are not planned for competition due to private ownership of Ericsson software rights by TIM and the status of microwave repeater towers as private Italian telecommunications facilities licensed under Italian law.
