The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane, a component of the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, is seeking a sole source procurement for a keynote speaker to address workplace stress management across all organizational levels. The solicitation, identified as N00164-25-Q-0633, is specifically targeting Tim Gard as the preferred speaker, though the agency will accept quotes from other potential offerors. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible, and all offers must be submitted electronically to jenae.l.burkhart.civ@us.navy.mil by 12:00 PM Eastern Time on May 16, 2025. The procurement follows Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13 procedures and is categorized under NAICS code 611710 for Educational Support Services. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the government retains full discretion in determining whether to compete the contract based on received responses.
The solicitation does not indicate any specific set-aside designations or predetermined award value. The place of performance is implied to be at the NSWC Crane facility, with the keynote speaker coming from Portland, Oregon. No specific timeline for service delivery is provided beyond the submission deadline. The procurement appears to be a targeted effort to address organizational stress management through a targeted speaking engagement. All potential changes to the solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov, and interested vendors are responsible for monitoring the site for any amendments. The sole source nature of the procurement suggests a specific preference for Tim Gard's expertise in workplace stress mitigation, though the government maintains flexibility in its final contracting decision.
