Tellabs networking equipment maintenance service

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVUP) has issued a Sources Sought notice to conduct market analysis for Tellabs networking equipment maintenance service. This pre-solicitation is explicitly not a formal solicitation but rather exploratory market research to identify capable contractors. The primary requirement is that interested vendors must be Tellabs authorized vendors with access to proprietary Tellabs software and the ability to escalate technical issues to Tellabs Tier 3 support for resolution. This Pre-Solicitation Notice is restricted to small businesses, and responses must be submitted via email to Yuri Oshiro at yuri.oshiro2.ln@us.navy.mil by February 24, 2026—a compressed four-day response window that reflects the urgency of this market analysis effort. The abbreviated timeline and nature of this announcement suggest NAVUP is seeking to understand the current landscape of available vendors before proceeding with formal procurement actions.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, limiting participation to qualified small business entities. The notice does not identify any current contractors, potential incumbents, or specific award values, as this is a pre-solicitation sources sought announcement rather than a formal solicitation with established budgetary parameters. No numerical details regarding service quantities, specific equipment volumes, or contract timelines are provided in the notice. The government has not published evaluation criteria at this stage, as the primary objective is information gathering to inform future procurement strategy. Interested small businesses should note that responses to this Sources Sought notice do not constitute formal proposals and will not result in immediate contract awards.
