Synopsis and FOE For NEN Engineering Support Services

The Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific awarded a sole-source task order, N6600126F0049, to Booz Allen Hamilton under the Seaport-NxG Multiple Award Contract N6600121D0160 for $12 million, without providing for fair opportunity, in accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(2). The justification for this exception cites urgency and the unique capability of the incumbent contractor to sustain critical Navy Enterprise Network services without unacceptable delays or operational risk. The work involves comprehensive engineering, technical, and programmatic support for the NEN, including network design, cybersecurity, infrastructure sustainment, server hosting, wireless and mobility solutions, and convergence initiatives across San Diego and overseas locations. Performance is expected over a three-month base period with a possible three-month option, concluding on February 23, 2026. The award decision was driven by the need to ensure uninterrupted mission continuity, retain institutional knowledge, avoid costly transitions, and maintain high-quality service delivery, with no formal evaluation factors, trade-off analysis, or price competition applied. The contracting office, located in San Diego, California, holds responsibility for inspection and acceptance of services based on compliance with the Performance Work Statement and mission-critical performance standards. No detailed pricing structure, CLIN data, packaging requirements, or special contract clauses are specified beyond the total value and scope. The sole-source rationale was affirmed through a government certification, and while the contractor’s Unique Entity ID and socioeconomic status are not disclosed, the work is tied to DoD cybersecurity and IT modernization imperatives with no alternative vendors deemed capable of meeting the required level of technical expertise and operational reliability.
