Cox California Telcom, LLC

Cox California Telcom, LLC, a San Diego-based subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, Inc., provides cable television, broadband internet, managed WiFi, and telecommunications infrastructure services to federal defense and civilian agencies as a prime contractor across 256 recent awards. The vendor competes exclusively on a full and open basis with no set-aside designations and is not SBA-certified; it is a for-profit limited liability company registered in SAM since October 2010.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on last-mile telecommunications delivery: cable television service (including hospitality and news channel lineups), high-speed internet and broadband connectivity, Cox-branded managed WiFi at gigabit speeds, telephone service, and network infrastructure provisioning at military installations and federal facilities. Representative recent work includes a $1.097 million sole-source firm fixed-price contract from the Defense Health Agency awarded September 2024 for cable television and WiFi services spanning over 800 endpoints and 240 wireless access points at Naval Medical Center San Diego and the Surface Warfare Medical Institute; a $141 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (May 2025) for cable television services at Naval Base Point Loma supporting NAVWAR Corporate Operations; and a $96.8 thousand purchase order from Naval Network Warfare Command (September 2024) for commercial internet service in San Diego. All awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders with no parent IDVs or GWACs visible in the prime footprint; work is performed exclusively in California, principally San Diego area and Camp Pendleton North.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Defense. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 66 percent of recent awards, led by the United States Marine Corps (122 awards, $2 million combined potential value), Department of Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (12 awards, $1.8 million), and Department of Justice US Attorney's Offices (12 awards, $118 thousand). When ranked by combined potential value, the Defense Health Agency leads at $2.8 million across 8 awards, followed by Marine Corps ($2 million) and Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery ($1.8 million); this ranking reflects the higher-dollar medical and hospital-based contracts. The vendor serves 32 distinct federal agencies across the portfolio, but defense-health and naval operations dominate both volume and dollars.

The top two parent vehicles are two GSA Indefinite Delivery Contracts: GS09Q11DLD7002 (a GSA Multiple Award Schedule vehicle carrying 17 task orders and $3.3 million combined potential value) and M0068116D0003 (102 task orders, $313 thousand combined potential value). These are the only named parent vehicles; the remaining 137 awards appear to be direct purchase orders or delivery orders not under a multi-award contract vehicle.

Activity has declined year over year. The vendor received 12 awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, 8 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 2 through early March 2026. Combined potential value across all 256 awards is $10.3 million, with $7.5 million obligated (73 percent of potential value), indicating stable cash flow on executed work. Nine awards carrying $266 thousand in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure. The vendor carries no subcontract footprint; all 256 awards are prime.

Cox California Telcom's work is characterized by modest per-contract value ($10 thousand to $1.1 million range, with most clustering under $100 thousand) and high frequency across military installations and federal facilities in Southern California. The vendor's category concentration sits in Wired Telecommunications Carriers (NAICS 517311, 155 awards) and related telecommunications PSCs, reflecting a pure-play regional telecommunications service provider model anchored to its parent company's existing San Diego area cable and broadband infrastructure.
