Purchase Order N0010426PFB05

The Naval Supply Systems Command awarded a $20,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to B&G Manufacturing Co Inc., a small business fastener manufacturer based in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, for the production of hex cap screws to MIL-DTL-1222 specifications. The contract, effective through December 31, 2026, calls for the delivery of specialized Grade 500 K-MONEL screws measuring 1.00 inch diameter by 3.00 inches in length with 8 UNC threading and 3A class of fit, designed for critical shipboard systems. The procurement does not utilize a set-aside designation, though B&G Manufacturing qualifies as a small business contractor and has an established track record with Naval Supply Systems Command and the Defense Logistics Agency. Delivery is required within 365 days of contract award to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, with materials to be delivered FOB destination.

The contract incorporates stringent quality assurance and material control requirements typical of defense shipbuilding applications, including ISO-9001 quality systems certification, comprehensive testing certifications, full material traceability documentation, and government source inspection at the contractor's facility. B&G Manufacturing's expertise in producing mission-critical fasteners meeting military specifications and its previous experience supplying major defense shipbuilders including Electric Boat, Huntington Ingalls, and BAE Systems position the company well to fulfill this procurement. The contract includes a one-year warranty from delivery date and requires all certification data to be reviewed and accepted through the Wide Area Work Flow system prior to each shipment, with a "DO" priority rating designation under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System reflecting the national defense criticality of the material.
