Description
The United States Navy intends to sole source cable services from Cox California Telcom, LLC. The proposed contract action is for commercial supplies or services, which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source. The contract includes initial set up, installation, and wiring, as well as monthly CATV with cable box and internet with modem service. The period of performance is from 01/01/2026 to 12/31/2026, with three option years. The estimated value of the contract is not specified.
• The contract is for cable and internet services for the Navy's installations in the San Diego area.
• Cox is the current contract holder and has existing infrastructure at the FLC building to support television and telecommunications services.
• The Navy requires compatibility with video phone devices for hearing-impaired employees, which are only compatible with Cox Cable network services.
• Failure to award the contract to Cox would result in significant disruption of CATB services and adversely affect mission readiness.
