SATCOM O&M LAGO PATRIA

This solicitation, identified as N6817126RN004, seeks qualified contractors to provide operation and maintenance services for the NAVSATCOMFAC Lago Patria telecommunications facility in Naples, Italy, under a Firm Fixed Price arrangement. Only active Seaport contract holders are eligible to respond, and all proposals must be submitted in English by the deadline of August 7, 2026. The work involves managing satellite systems including SHF and Standardized Tactical Entry Point operations, telecommunications system maintenance, mission support, and customer training, all governed by a detailed Performance Work Statement and Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan. Performance is required on-site with continuous watch coverage for designated essential functions, and the contract includes a one-month transition period followed by an eleven-month base period, with five sequential one-year option periods extending potential performance through July 2032. All proposals must be submitted electronically in five distinct volumes, each addressing specific evaluation factors: facilities security clearance, technical approach, past performance, price, and small business participation. A Facility Security Clearance at the Secret level is mandatory and serves as a pass/fail gate—failure to meet this requirement disqualifies the offer. Offerors must demonstrate that all personnel hold at least U.S. Secret clearances and provide resumes, letters of commitment, and clearance documentation for key personnel. Pricing is structured with specific CLINs not to be bid, instead evaluated against predetermined not-to-exceed thresholds of $50,000 or $17,500. Evaluation prioritizes technical approach over past performance, with price considered significantly less important, and a 10% price evaluation preference is applied to non-HUBZone offers. Compliance with stringent security, quality control, safety plan requirements, and electronic submission standards via Microsoft Office Word or Excel 2016 is mandatory. Contractors must use WAWF for invoicing, adhere to DFARS and FAR clauses including those on supply chain risk, security prohibitions, safeguarding information systems, and limitations of government obligation, and ensure all SAM registrations and representations are current and accurate. The contract administration office oversees compliance, with the Contracting Officer’s Representative managing daily performance oversight and acceptance of deliverables.
