Television programing services

The Naval Supply Systems Command's Fleet Logistics Center San Diego has issued a Special Notice of Intent to award a sole-source Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract for Cable Television Programming Services to Cox California Telcom, LLC. The contract will provide CATV and broadband internet services to approximately 787 service drops across ten Navy installations in California and Nevada, including Naval Base San Diego, Naval Base Point Loma, Naval Base Coronado, Naval Air Station Lemoore, and others under Commander, Navy Region Southwest. The procurement is being conducted under FAR 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Commercial Products and Services, with the sole-source justification based on Cox's existing embedded infrastructure and proprietary signal distribution technology. The agency previously issued a Sources Sought notice on June 2, 2025, which received four capability statements, but Cox was determined to be the only capable provider after comprehensive assessment. This Special Notice is not a request for competitive quotes or proposals, and no solicitation will be forthcoming.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of the Navy's intent to award the contract on a sole-source basis while providing an opportunity for responsible sources to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested parties may submit capability statements by August 1, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. PST via email to the designated contracting officer. The government will review these submissions solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement instead of the planned sole-source award. The contract scope includes providing multi-tier programming lineups for different Navy environments such as offices, lounges, and pier drops, along with all necessary technology infrastructure including satellite dishes, head-ends, fiber-optic cabling, and network components at no additional cost to the government. The service must comply with federal, state, and FCC regulations and include minimum broadband internet service requirements. The final decision to compete or proceed with sole-source procurement remains entirely at the government's discretion.
