The U.S. Navy, through NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, has issued a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) to gather market information for potential future rental services of reception and event equipment in support of a reception aboard USS KEARSARGE (LHD 3). This notice, identified as N00189SSNDEV0519 and posted on May 19, 2026, is strictly for market research and does not constitute a solicitation, request for proposal, or commitment to award a contract. Responses are due by 9:00 a.m. EST on May 26, 2026, and must be submitted via email to David Vaughn. Interested parties are required to provide their company details, CAGE Code, Unique Entity ID, business size under NAICS code 532289 (with a $12.5 million size standard), a capability statement demonstrating ability to meet the draft SOW, and evidence of capability to deliver the specified equipment—including 35 round tables, 400 folding chairs, two tents, a 300ft x 50ft rug, and 1,000 sets of dining ware—to Naval Station Norfolk by June 8, 2026.

All responders must detail their process for securing base access for personnel and confirm compliance with NAVSEA and fire safety standards for shipboard use of electrical equipment. No pricing information, evaluation factors, contract clauses, packaging requirements, or award assurances are included, as this is pre-solicitation intelligence gathering. Submissions become government property, no reimbursement is provided, and the government is under no obligation to respond to inquiries or notify respondents of outcomes.
