The procurement requires five specific shielding items, including full ring closure cap shielding, multiple full disc shieldings of varying thicknesses, and a ring with an opening, with three units required for each item type. These components must be manufactured according to Drawing 2370.2-3655 specifications and meet stringent material requirements, including a minimum density of 7 g/cc, a tenth value thickness of 2.09 inches or better, and strict limits on detrimental materials such as bromides, chlorides, and mercury. The solicitation will be awarded using a lowest-priced technically acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with quotes due by 12:00 PM on March 6, 2025. Potential vendors must submit any questions to the contracting officer, Michelle Augustus, by March 3, 2025.
The contract is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 326291, with a size standard of 750 employees. Delivery of the shielding components is required by April 7, 2025, to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, VA. Each shielding component must be free from defects, properly packaged on pallets not exceeding 3,000 pounds, and accompanied by certified test reports verifying compliance with all technical specifications. The vendor must provide a Certificate of Compliance per MIL-STD-2041 Rev E Notice 1 and include test reports demonstrating adherence to material composition and quality requirements. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the solicitation involves five distinct shielding items, each requiring three units, suggesting a moderate-sized procurement for specialized radiation shielding components designed for shipyard reactor servicing applications.
