KVH Industries, Inc. (KVH) Static IP and Monthly Maintenance

The Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic (NIWC Atlantic), under the Department of Defense, intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order to KVH Industries, Inc. for satellite airtime services and one year of monthly maintenance fees. This acquisition will be conducted on a sole-source, noncompetitive basis under FAR 13.106-1(b), as KVH is the only provider capable of delivering the specific satellite airtime currently in use. The contract’s place of performance is Hanahan, South Carolina, with the contracting office located in North Charleston, South Carolina. Interested parties believing they can meet the requirement are invited to submit capability statements or proposals by December 11, 2025, although the government retains sole discretion to proceed without competition due to the unique capability held by KVH. No detailed pricing, specific performance metrics, or contract options are disclosed in the current documentation, as it reflects a presolicitation notice rather than an awarded contract. The procurement does not involve typical evaluation criteria, weights, or competition-based assessments; the award basis rests solely on KVH’s exclusivity in providing the service. Submission instructions specify email responses directed to the point of contact, Jessica K. Glisson. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 517410, with a corresponding small business size standard of $44 million. The documentation lacks detailed clauses, inspection, acceptance criteria, or special contract requirements, focusing primarily on administrative and procedural aspects for this simplified acquisition of technical services.
