The Department of the Navy, Strategic Weapons Facility, Atlantic (SWFLANT), is issuing a Presolicitation for DirecTV Satellite TV Service for eight buildings at Kings Bay, GA. This is intended as a sole-source, non-competitive award to DirecTV LLC due to significant costs and operational disruptions associated with switching providers.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for the renewal of DirecTV Satellite TV Service for seven existing buildings and new installation for one additional building within the production areas at Kings Bay, GA. The service period is for 12 months.
