Tellabs System and Support

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (NASA/NSSC) issued a Special Notice on February 2, 2026, for a sole source procurement of Tellabs System and Support services. This presolicitation synopsis represents a planned award to Tellabs Enterprise Inc., located in Carrollton, Texas, to supply telecommunications equipment and comprehensive support services for NASA Stennis Space Center. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and will be conducted using FAR Part 12 and Part 13 commercial item procedures. NASA justifies the sole source determination based on an existing agreement with the incumbent vendor and the significant operational and financial impacts that would result from switching to an alternative provider.

The primary objective of this procurement is to acquire Tellabs optical line terminal equipment, transceivers, networking infrastructure components, software subscriptions, and professional services required to maintain NASA's existing telecommunications systems and daily operational capabilities at Stennis Space Center. The performance period is 30 days from receipt of order, and all work will be performed at NASA Stennis Space Center. The deadline for interested organizations to submit written capabilities and qualifications statements is February 5, 2026, at 8 a.m. Central Standard Time, with submissions directed to Stephanie Graham (Procurement Specialist) at Stephanie.N.Graham@nasa.gov. Submissions will be evaluated solely to determine whether competitive bidding should be pursued, though NASA retains full discretion in this determination. There are no specific eligibility restrictions noted; however, all submitted materials must be in writing, as oral communications are not acceptable for this procurement.
