26-SIMACQ-E30-0034 Cell Phone Repeaters Removal and Replacement
DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE NAVY.NAVSEA.NAVSEA WARFARE CENTER.COMMANDING OFFICER · Response deadline: Tue, 27 Oct 2026
What the government is buying
The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division is procuring services for the removal and replacement of cell phone repeaters. This is telecommunications infrastructure work on a military installation—specifically, taking out existing cellular signal amplification equipment and installing new units to maintain or improve wireless coverage across the base.
Cell phone repeater systems boost weak cellular signals in areas where coverage from external towers is inadequate, such as within buildings, underground facilities, or geographically challenging terrain common on naval installations. This type of work typically involves site surveys, equipment procurement, physical installation, testing, and commissioning to ensure carrier compatibility and compliance with military security and safety standards.
For this requirement, see the solicitation for the complete statement of work, including the number of repeaters, building locations, technical specifications, and any phased installation schedule.

Who can bid
This opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS 517112. To qualify, your business must meet the Small Business Administration's size standard for this code, have active SAM.gov registration, and possess any required security clearances or base access credentials needed for work at Naval Base Ventura County Port Hueneme.
Relevant small business certifications—such as SDVOSB, HUBZone, or 8(a)—do not affect eligibility here since this is a general small business set-aside, not a socioeconomic program set-aside. However, contractors should verify whether the work requires Navy Qualified Contractor status or specific telecommunications licensing.
How to put together a competitive bid
Teaming and capability documentation: Cell repeater installation on active military bases demands demonstrated experience with distributed antenna systems (DAS), bi-directional amplifiers, or similar RF infrastructure. If your firm lacks direct Navy base experience, consider subcontracting with a prime that holds current base access approvals, or partner with an incumbent facilities contractor. Document past performance on comparable federal or commercial telecommunications projects with similar security environments.
Technical proposal focus: AddressPort Hueneme's operational constraints. The base hosts test and evaluation activities for naval weapons systems—expect restricted work hours, escort requirements, and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) coordination. Propose minimal-disruption installation methodologies and explicit safety protocols for working near active electronic systems. Include manufacturer certifications for proposed repeater equipment and confirmation of carrier coordination capabilities (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile compatibility verification).
Pricing strategy: Combined synopsis/solicitations often use simplified acquisition procedures. Review whether this falls under the SAT threshold or is competitively negotiated. Structure pricing to separate equipment from labor, travel, and OCONUS contingency elements if applicable. Consider GSA Schedule or other contract vehicle applicability if referenced in the solicitation.
Compliance checkpoints: Verify current DD254 or Facility Security Clearance status, if required. Confirm all personnel hold or can obtain Common Access Cards (CAC) or Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) credentials. Address Fall Protection, Electrical Safety (NFPA 70E), and EMR rating history in your safety plan.
