Supply of HID Signo PIV 20 Card Readers

The contract is for the procurement and delivery of 13 units of HID Signo PIV 20 Card Readers, with the brand-name explicitly specified, indicating a non-negotiable product requirement. The solicitation is categorized as a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only small businesses certified by the SBA are eligible to bid, as defined under FAR 19.5. The North American Industry Classification System code 334310 identifies the industry as manufacturing semiconductor and related devices, aligning the supplier’s capabilities with the technical nature of the hardware. The opportunity was posted on July 28, 2026, with a firm response deadline of August 10, 2026, at 2:00 PM, leaving a limited window for submissions. The contracting activity is the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, operating under the Department of Defense, with performance required at Newport, Rhode Island, ZIP code 02841. The nature of the procurement suggests the card readers are intended for secure access or identity verification purposes within a federal or defense facility, given their PIV compliance and the agency involved. The absence of a designated point of contact and detailed address information implies that all communications and submissions must be handled through the official SAM.gov portal linked in the posting, and bidders are expected to follow standard federal procurement protocols for subcontractors under a small business set-aside.
