About this opportunity
The Commander Fleet Readiness Centers Procurement Group at Naval Air Systems Command (Naval Air Systems Command) has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for recruitment services via LinkedIn. The notice, posted on March 9, 2026, announces the Department of the Navy's intention to award a purchase order to Carahsoft Technology Corporation, located in Reston, Virginia, on a sole source basis under Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 13.106-1(b)(i). This procurement falls under the 8(a) Sole Source set-aside and is categorized under Employment Placement Agencies (NAICS 561311). The government asserts that Carahsoft Technology Corporation is the only authorized retailer capable of providing the required LinkedIn recruitment services, making it the sole reasonably available source for this requirement.
The Fleet Readiness Center Southwest requires LinkedIn recruitment support services to maintain eleven concurrent, active job postings to enable continuous rotation and recruitment for multiple positions throughout the year. While this notice indicates the government's intent to award a sole source contract, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement within three calendar days of publication for consideration in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Interested contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) prior to offer submission and at the time of award. The government reserves the sole discretion to decide whether to compete this requirement based on responses received, and further inquiries should be directed to Sarah M. Moore or Amanda Taylor at the contact information provided in the notice.
