The United States Marine Corps issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract to Cox California Telcom L.L.C. for cable television services on April 10, 2026. This special notice announces the Marine Corps' plan to procure remote continuous cable television feeds for government facilities under the simplified acquisition procedures authorized by FAR 12.102(a). The procurement involves providing 24-hour news and weather programming, public broadcast services, local and major networks, and regional sports and entertainment channels. Cox California Telcom L.L.C., located at 5159 Federal Boulevard in San Diego, California, has been identified as the intended sole source contractor. The notice invites interested parties to submit Expressions of Interest to demonstrate their capability to provide comparable services.
The Marine Corps seeks to continue uninterrupted cable television service to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Forces at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, which relies on television programming to gather operational intelligence from news organizations. Interested contractors must submit Expressions of Interest via email to Sgt Holback Charles at Charles.Holback@usmc.mil by 5:00 PM PST three days after publication, which establishes a deadline of April 14, 2026. Submissions must include detailed information on capabilities, pricing, and technical data demonstrating comparable service capacity to support the government's assessment of alternative sources. While any responsible contractor may submit an EOI, the government will use all responses solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement or proceed with the sole source award. The contracting officer retains sole discretion in this determination, and the anticipated contract award date is April 24, 2026.
