Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) is seeking to procure wireless telecommunications and satellite communications services through a sole source procurement from Telefonica de Espana. The government has completed extensive market research, including posting a sources sought synopsis (N68171-26-Q-T001) and direct contact with potential sources to evaluate their capabilities to meet the requirements outlined in the attached Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS). The procurement falls under NAICS 517112 (Wireless Telecommunications Carriers) and PSC DG11 (IT and Telecom - Network: Satellite Communications and Telecom Access Services). While the specific evaluation criteria are detailed in the Draft PWS document, the government has determined based on its market research that only one reasonably available source—Telefonica de Espana—possesses the capability to perform this work. The notice was posted on February 17, 2026, with a comment deadline of February 23, 2026, providing a six-day window for potential offerors or interested parties to submit comments or inquiries regarding the sole source determination.

This procurement utilizes no set-aside designations and is intended to be awarded on a sole source basis to Telefonica de Espana under the authority of 41 USC 1901(e)(2). The contract is structured as a 5-year agreement with a rough order of magnitude (ROM) of $2.5 million. The contract performance is scheduled to commence on June 25, 2026. As an incumbent contractor selected through the sole source justification process, Telefonica de Espana was identified as the only source capable of meeting the government's requirements following comprehensive market research and evaluation. The specific service requirements, performance standards, and detailed contract parameters are documented in the Draft PWS, which is available for review by interested parties during the pre-solicitation notice period.
