KVH Industries, Inc (KVH) Static IP and Monthly Maintenance

The Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order to KVH Industries, Inc. for satellite telecommunications services. Specifically, the contract will cover 900 gigabytes of satellite airtime and one year of monthly maintenance fees. The procurement will be conducted on a noncompetitive basis under FAR 13.106-1(b), with KVH identified as the sole provider of the required satellite airtime. Interested parties may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation via the NAVWAR E-Commerce website by January 10, 2025. The government will review all responses to determine whether to proceed with a competitive procurement, with the final decision remaining solely at their discretion.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific small business set-aside, though the NAICS Code 517410 has a small business size standard of $44 million. KVH Industries, Inc. is the incumbent and proposed sole source for this contract, which suggests unique technical capabilities or existing infrastructure that prevents competitive bidding. While the exact award value is not specified, the contract encompasses satellite airtime and monthly maintenance services for a one-year period. The procurement falls under the Information Technology and Telecommunications product service code (PSC 7), and the contract is being managed by the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command.
