Notice of Intent to Sole Source modification to contract N6817125C0006

NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Sigonella intends to award a sole-source modification to existing contract N6817125C0006 with TIM S.p.A. (Telecom Italia) for microwave relocation site survey, multiplexer and energy station procurement at Sigonella U.S. Naval Air Station, with capability statements due by 18 September 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Naples time. The modification is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) based on TIM S.p.A.'s exclusive ownership and maintenance of the proprietary host-nation network architecture and existing physical telecommunications infrastructure at the location; the initial competitive base contract solicitation received only one proposal from TIM S.p.A., and any alternative provider would require prohibitively costly duplication of local physical infrastructure resulting in unacceptable delays to critical mission communications.

Work spans 21 September 2026 through 29 June 2027 and includes three primary components: preliminary site survey and design for microwave antenna relocation from Building 465 to the P-130 building with topographic and line-of-sight studies; provisioning, configuration, and installation of an Ericsson 6000 series multiplexer system integrated with existing network infrastructure at NCTS BCO B435; and supply, pre-staging, and installation of a 28 KW SCR energy and storage system to power the multiplexer environment in Building P-130.

Interested parties with authorized physical access to the local telecommunications grid may submit a capability statement including company name, CAGE Code, UEI, detailed technical capability description, and evidence of authorized access to sebastiano.paciello.ln@us.navy.mil. The Government retains sole discretion regarding whether to conduct competitive procurement in the future based on responses received. NAICS 517111; PSC DG11.
