Notice of intent to issue a sole source to telefonica DE españa for wired telecommunication services

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Telefonica de España for wired telecommunication services at Naval Station Rota, Spain. The notice was posted on February 25, 2026, with a response deadline of March 12, 2026. The estimated contract value is $3.8 million. The government's decision to pursue a sole source award is based on the existing infrastructure owned and leased by Telefonica de España, which includes ducting systems and copper cabling installed over the past fifty years at a cumulative value of approximately $20 million. Interested parties who believe they possess the capability to compete for this requirement are encouraged to contact Keishla Valenzuela at the provided email address.

Any contractor seeking to challenge the sole source determination must submit a comprehensive response that addresses three specific elements: a capability statement demonstrating the ability to perform the requirements outlined in the draft Performance Work Statement without service degradation, a detailed description of existing infrastructure capable of delivering the required services, and a preliminary implementation plan with associated costs for service delivery beginning in June 2026. The contract will encompass a five-year period from June 25, 2026, through June 24, 2031, and requires the contractor to provide comprehensive fixed-line telecommunications services including PSTN trunk lines, GPON internet access, Ethernet switching, and 24/7 switch maintenance support to Naval Station Rota and other U.S. Navy activities within the COMNAVACTS Spain area. Generic capability statements will not be considered, and responses must specifically address infrastructure capabilities and financial requirements to qualify for evaluation. The government reserves the right to determine whether this requirement will remain a sole source award or be open to competition.
