How to bid on Armory Support Specialist II services for Naval Supply Systems Command
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, on behalf of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), is seeking information from businesses that can provide administrative and program management support. This support is for the NCIS Acquisition and Logistics Department's Arms, Ammunition, and Explosive (AA&E) Program, located in Quantico, Virginia.
This is a Request for Information (RFI), not a solicitation for a contract. The Navy is gathering market research to understand industry capabilities and to refine its requirements. Your input can help shape a future solicitation, making this an opportunity to influence the process early on.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
Your response to this RFI is due by September 16, 2026, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time. Responses must be submitted via email to Summer Crane.
This RFI is for information gathering only. The government will consider all information received but will not provide formal responses or direct feedback to individual submissions. The information may be used to develop a final Performance Work Statement or a future Request for Quotes (RFQ).
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for businesses that specialize in administrative and program management support services, particularly those with experience related to arms, ammunition, and explosives programs. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this service is 541614, which has a small business standard of $20,000,000.00. The Federal Supply Code is R706.
Firms with the requisite skills, resources, and capabilities to perform these services are encouraged to respond. This includes businesses that can provide security clearances and support potential option periods for the requirement.
How to respond to this RFI
To respond, you need to submit a written response via email to Summer Crane at [email protected]. Your submission should not exceed three typewritten pages, using no less than 12-point font.
Your response should address specific points: your company's name, address, point of contact, DUNS number, Cage Code, business size and classification, and relevant NAICS code. Indicate if your services are available under a GSA Schedule. Provide any industry standard information, including performance standards or practices. State if your company can perform for the full period of performance with options, and detail the type of security clearances your company provides.
Tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though this is an RFI, a well-crafted response can make a strong impression. Focus on clearly demonstrating your company's capabilities and experience relevant to administrative and program management support, especially within a sensitive area like arms, ammunition, and explosives.
Pay close attention to the draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) provided with the RFI. Offer constructive feedback on the PWS that highlights your expertise and suggests improvements that could benefit the government. Ensure your response directly addresses all requested information points within the page limit, maintaining a professional and concise tone.
