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

The Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic intends to award a noncompetitive, firm-fixed-price purchase order to KVH Industries, Inc. for satellite airtime and one year of monthly maintenance fees. This requirement, identified under solicitation number N6523626QE034, involves the provision of KVH static IP services and ongoing maintenance. The government intends to negotiate solely with KVH under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) because the vendor is the sole provider of the specific satellite airtime currently in use, and no other distributors can fulfill the requirement.

The primary place of performance is Hanahan, South Carolina. This procurement is classified under NAICS 517410, Satellite Telecommunications, with a small business size standard of $44 million. The acquisition is also designated under PSC 7G22 for IT and Telecom - Network: Satellite and RF Communications Products (Hardware and Perpetual License Software). There is no set-aside (NONE/NONE) assigned to this action.

A single attachment titled A74 Pre-Sol.docx is associated with this notice. Although this is not a request for competitive quotes, the government will consider capability statements, proposals, or quotations from responsible sources to determine if a competitive procurement is warranted. All responses and inquiries must be submitted to Jessica K. Glisson by the response deadline of December 11, 2026. The final determination to proceed with a noncompetitive award remains within the sole discretion of the government.
