This is a firm fixed price purchase order awarded by the Department of the Navy Bureau of Naval Personnel to Hobsons, Inc., a foreign-owned for-profit organization, to provide automated news services channels to the Naval Academy in Maryland. The $129,901 contract has a completion date of September 29, 2019 and was awarded on September 30, 2018. It is not a set-aside contract. The award appears to be related to a previous $299,000 firm fixed price purchase order from the same agency to Hobsons for a Naviance platform to support college planning, recruiting, and career readiness initiatives for Naval Academy students, parents, and counselors. Hobsons has also received other federal contract awards from the Department of Transportation Maritime Administration and the Navy Bureau of Naval Personnel for Naviance platforms and student retention initiatives.
