About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy, Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, issued a Notice of Intent to sole-source a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order with ORBCOMM, INC / DBA ORBCOMM AIS LLC for satellite and terrestrial Automated Information System (AIS) data subscriptions, with comments due by May 29, 2026 at 1300 PST. The Navy designated ORBCOMM as the sole provider because Foreign Military Sales Letters of Offer and Acceptance, jointly approved by the United States and participating foreign governments, explicitly require ORBCOMM as a data provider; deviation would constitute a breach of those binding agreements. This notice is not a request for quote, though the agency stated that any firm believing it can fulfill the requirement may submit interest and capabilities for consideration at the government's discretion. NAICS code 517410 applies with a 44-million-dollar business size standard. FAR Part 12 (Commercial Items) and FAR Part 13 (Simplified Acquisitions) procedures apply. All responding vendors must maintain active registration in SAM.gov. Interested parties may submit comments or questions to Nicole Riccitelli at Flavia.N.Riccitelli.civ@us.navy.mil; phone and fax submissions will not be considered.
