KVH V3 HTS Satellite Antennas

The Naval Supply (NAVSUP) Systems Command, Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville (FLCJ), FL intends to issue a sole source award utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures to Mackay Communications, Inc., to procure the KVH V3 HTS Satellite Antennas for Commander, US Naval Forces Southern Command (COMUSNAVSO). COMUSNAVSO current KV3 antennas will reach end of life on December 2021. Previously coordinated Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) solution for these missions was reprioritized by the Joint Staff to support a higher-priority mission. C4I resources are required to facilitate connectivity with partner nation ships and flagship communication with subordinate units during high-visibility multinational exercises. Execution risk to this high profile mission is acute if C4I package is not sourced as COMFOURTHFLT/USNAVSO would lose the ability to support Humanitarian Assistance Disaster Relief missions, to include our South American and Caribbean partner

nations. The applicable North American Industrial Classification System Code (NAICS) code these services fall under is 334220 – Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing with a size standard of 1,250 employees. This notice of intent is for information purposes only. All sources that believe they are eligible to provide this requirement must respond in writing. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly articulate the ability and technical representation to provide this requirement as outlined above. A request for documentation will not be considered as an affirmative response. If no responses are received within ten (10) calendar days after publication of this notice, to the effect that technical acceptable items are available and that it is more advantageous to the Government than obtaining this product through a sole-source contract, then a sole source acquisition award will be made. Response to this notice is to be sent to deaundrae.l.rogers.civ@us.navy.mil.
