Sole source notice

NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Groton Office issued a sole source justification notice on August 20, 2026, announcing its intent to award a firm fixed price contract to Communication Construction Systems (CCS) Inc. for installation of NAVSUP wireless network infrastructure at Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island, with written challenges due by August 26, 2026. The sole source is justified under FAR 6.302-1 based on compatibility requirements and CCS's incumbent status as the original installer and ongoing maintainer of the NAVSUP network across the base.

The Naval Leadership and Ethics Center requires implementation of wireless network infrastructure in Building 440 supporting Wi-Fi 6E standards. Work scope includes a pre-placement AP survey with heat mapping, installation of 32 Cisco 9176i series access points, 64 lines of Cat6 cabling, 32 two-port surface mount boxes, three interconnect distribution frames with associated patch panels and switching equipment, in-building single-mode fiber termination, and cable continuity validation and reporting. CCS possesses specialized expertise with the NAVSUP network architecture, detailed knowledge of existing building configurations, and familiarity with DoD cybersecurity compliance requirements. The justification states that transitioning to an alternative contractor would risk configuration errors, service disruptions, and transition delays, and that no substitutes are available to meet form, fit, and function compatibility requirements.

Performance runs 12 months from September 28, 2026 through September 27, 2027. CCS is located at 4400 PGA Boulevard, Suite 200, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410 (CAGE 1MZH3, contact Edwin Moore, 561-775-1208). Challenges must demonstrate equivalent supplies exist meeting stated government needs and should be directed to casey.l.mayer.civ@us.navy.mil.
