NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk issued a Sources Sought / Request for Information for market research on an ICP-OES spectrometer system with an autosampler, with Annapolis, MD as the place of performance. No contract will result from this notice. The description text also talks about Naval Academy admissions outreach software, which does not match the title.
Watch out for
- Description does not match the title. The title is a lab spectrometer but the text describes Naval Academy admissions outreach via conversational software, so the real requirement is unclear.
The Office of Admissions seeks to leverage channels that support outreach activities nationwide via conversational software.
- Dates in the notice do not agree. The text says responses are due 22 December 2025 while the SAM.gov deadline field shows 2026-12-22, so confirm with the contact before responding.
Responses should be emailed to Shere' C. Reese at shere.c.reese.civ@us.navy.mil
- Information only, no award. Responding helps the Navy plan but does not lead directly to a contract.
This is not a solicitation announcement for proposals and no contract will be awarded from this announcement.
- Strict page limit. Responses over the limit may not be reviewed.
Submissions are not to exceed five (5) typewritten pages in no less than 12 font.
Read from the notice text only.
