Procurement request for Virtual Acquisition Office (VAO)

Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD), under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, is soliciting quotes for a subscription-based Virtual Acquisition Office (VAO) knowledge base designed specifically for federal acquisition professionals. The VAO product must provide comprehensive access to federal acquisition regulations, policies, guidance, and related materials through an online platform with a minimum of 15 individual user licenses. This is a firm-fixed-price procurement being conducted as a combined synopsis and solicitation using simplified acquisition procedures for commercial items. Award will be made to the lowest-price technically acceptable quotation that is fair and reasonable, with evaluation based on two factors: price and technical capability. All quotes must be submitted by 11:00 AM EDT on April 10, 2026, to christopher.c.rolince.civ@us.navy.mil and must include pricing, CAGE code, FOB destination, point of contact, GSA contract number if applicable, business size certification, and company letterhead quote rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

This procurement is not designated as a set-aside for small business. The solicitation references a non-competitive procurement justification memorandum indicating that Unison Virtual Acquisition Office LLC is the sole provider of the VAO product with exclusive licensing agreements and no authorized resellers or third-party distributors. The contract structure consists of a base year running from April 15, 2026 through April 14, 2027, with four optional renewal years extending through April 14, 2031. The service is classified under NAICS 513210 (Software Publishers) and PSC 7A21 (IT and Telecom - Business Application Software). Performance will be at the government's location with a required delivery date of April 30, 2026 for initial implementation.
