Description

This is a sole‑source procurement solicitation from the U.S. Navy for the acquisition of buoys (SOFAR buoys) to support maritime navigation and safety. The solicitation was amended on 10 Sep 2026 to correct the NAICS code to 334513; all other terms remain unchanged. Because it is a sole‑source award, competition is not required, and vendors must demonstrate capability to supply, install, and maintain the specified buoy systems. The contract will be administered by NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk. • Procurement type: Sole source (no competitive bidding) • Product: SOFAR buoys (marine navigation aids) • Agency: U.S. Navy, NAVSUP FLT LOG CTR Norfolk • NAICS corrected to 334513 (Instrument Manufacturing) • Primary contact: Vladimir Pierre‑Charles (email & phone provided) • No explicit submission deadline or award date in the amendment • Contractors must acknowledge receipt of the amendment before the offer opening date specified in the original solicitation.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $5,000,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract value. Typical Navy buoy procurement contracts range from a few hundred thousand dollars for a small batch to several million dollars for larger, integrated systems. Assuming a modest order of 10–20 buoys with associated installation and support, a reasonable estimate would be between $0.5 million and $5 million, depending on specifications, quantity, and service terms.
