Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for Wrist Watch National Stock Numbers (NSNs) to gather market data for a prospective Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). This BPA is anticipated to include a one-year base period and nine (9) one-year option periods. Responses are due May 26, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST.

Participation is voluntary, and no reimbursement will be provided for submission costs.
Scope of Interest
The RFI seeks information on wrist watches and related time-measuring instruments, identified by specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs). Interested parties should review the provided attachments:
