2026 Sail 250 Tour

The U.S. Navy, through Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, is soliciting bids for the rental and deployment of two Evolv Express dual-lane security scanning systems in support of the 2026 Sail 250 Ship Tour at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. The contract, identified as N0018926QW202, is a firm fixed-price acquisition with a delivery date of June 18, 2026, and a performance window of June 20–21, 2026, to enable public access to U.S. and foreign naval vessels. The scope includes not only the equipment but also the provision of a portable generator for power, two trained operators, and full delivery, setup, and retrieval services at the Fort Norfolk Parking Lot and the main COMNAVREG MIDLANT site. All work must comply with TSA screening protocols and military marking standards, including MIL-STD-130 and MIL-STD-129 for unique item identification and shipment labeling, with machine-readable 2D Data Matrix symbols required for traceability and compliance with DoD’s IUID registry. The procurement is evaluated primarily on price, with a 10% preference afforded to HUBZone small business offerors, and past performance considered only in a best-value tradeoff if concerns about low-price proposals arise. Contract administration is governed by strict compliance with FAR and DFARS clauses, including prohibitions on foreign telecommunications equipment, Buy American requirements, and representations regarding ownership by foreign governments or state sponsors of terrorism. Payment will be processed via WAWF using the DoDAAC N61463, and invoicing must follow standardized commercial formats. The contracting officer is Raymond Thompson, with Jacqueline Lewis and James Scott serving as technical points of contact, and all offerors must be actively registered in SAM, provide a valid UEI and CAGE code if applicable, and certify compliance with all socioeconomic and security-related requirements. No pricing details are publicly visible beyond the line item for two systems, suggesting complete cost data resides in unattached continuation pages, and the contract’s total value remains unconfirmed.
