26-SIMACQ-N03-0049 Americable -International Japan Inc

Solicitation N6339426P4002 is a total small business set-aside for a sole-source award to Americable International Japan, Inc. to provide commercial internet services at Yokosuka Naval Base, Japan. The contract supports the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division, specifically providing 50 Mbps bandwidth for Combat Systems Project Engineer and LOGREP personnel in Building 39A. This connectivity is critical for establishing Navy/Marine Corps Intranet access via Deployable Site Transport Boundary Flyaway Kits, enabling secure communications with deployed ships and access to mission-essential technical databases. The procurement is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.303-2(b)(4) because Americable is the only on-base provider with the necessary infrastructure and authorization to deliver these services. The government determined that utilizing alternative providers would result in an estimated 2-year delay and approximately 1 million dollars in duplication costs, potentially leading to mission failure. While the contracting office is located in Port Hueneme, California, the place of performance is exclusively at Yokosuka Naval Base. Specific pricing, period of performance dates, and formal evaluation factors are not provided, as the award is based on the unique technical and geographic capabilities of the sole-source provider.
