Joint Staff Assessment Visit and Nuclear Procedures Inspection (JSAV/NPI) Program Support

The U.S. Navy’s NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, acting on behalf of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, plans to award a sole source contract to Richard S. Carson and Associates Inc. for support of the Nuclear Command and Control Joint Staff Assessment Visit and Nuclear Procedures Inspection programs. This effort is critical to ensuring the readiness and compliance of nuclear command and control systems across the Department of Defense, with work to be performed primarily in Arlington, Virginia. The contract falls under NAICS code 541611 for management consulting services and is classified as a presolicitation with no set-aside provisions, meaning it is open to any qualified entity, though only one vendor has been identified for potential award. The presolicitation notice, issued on July 15, 2026, invites interested parties to submit information to justify the sole source selection by July 22, 2026, at 3:59 p.m. Eastern Time. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Christopher O’Brien, reachable via email at Christopher.j.obrien42.civ@us.navy.mil, and all documentation including the draft Performance Work Statement is available through the SAM.gov portal. The contract will support high-priority national security functions related to nuclear command, control, and compliance inspections, requiring specialized expertise that only the selected vendor is deemed uniquely qualified to provide.
