The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking a contractor to manufacture AN/BRA-24 Antenna Seal Assemblies for use on Navy submarines. The procurement specification requires the production of a complex seal assembly with rigorous quality control and testing requirements, including first article testing and production lot testing that must be approved by Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division. The contract mandates strict quality inspection standards aligned with MIL-I-45208 or ISO 9001 and requires comprehensive documentation including certified mill certifications, industrial laboratory analyses, and compliance certificates. Contractors must meet detailed material, physical, mechanical, and testing requirements specified in multiple technical drawings. The solicitation was posted on December 6, 2024, with proposals due by January 17, 2025, and contractors will need to demonstrate capabilities in precision manufacturing and quality assurance for submarine-grade equipment.
There is no specific small business set-aside for this contract, making it open to all qualified contractors. The requested delivery timeline is 300 days after contract execution, with the potential contractor required to have or fabricate specialized tooling for acceptance testing. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the contract involves multiple component parts and assemblies with complex manufacturing requirements. The place of performance is not directly specified, but contractors will need facilities capable of meeting military-grade manufacturing standards. Specific material requirements include using Urethane Elastomer (ADIPRENE L167) and Curative (ETHACURE 300) from LANXESS Urethane Systems, and all materials must be mercury-free to meet submarine equipment standards. The contract includes extensive marking and identification requirements, with each unit needing to be permanently marked with contract number, vendor part number, and serial number.

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a SEAL ASSEMBLY with NSN 1H-2040-010515069-SQ under technical drawing version 017. The pre-solicitation notice indicates a requirement for 76 units to be delivered FOB origin, targeting marine hardware and hull items within the defense procurement sector. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, interested small businesses should prepare to demonstrate technical capability and compliance with the precise technical drawing specifications. The opportunity was posted on December 6, 2024, with responses due by January 6, 2025, suggesting a one-month window for potential vendors to prepare and submit their proposals. The contract opportunity is structured to provide comprehensive procurement specifications for a specialized marine component.
The contract is designated as a total small business set-aside, which means only small businesses are eligible to compete for this opportunity. The procurement is categorized under PSC Category 2040-P for Marine Hardware and Hull Items, indicating a specialized segment of naval supply procurement. While specific award value details are not provided in the pre-solicitation notice, the relatively specific quantity of 76 units suggests a focused, potentially medium-value contract. The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) will be the contracting agency, operating under the Department of the Navy's defense procurement framework. The FOB origin delivery requirement implies that the selected vendor will be responsible for initial transportation and delivery of the seal assemblies to the specified naval logistics location.
