This is a firm-fixed-price purchase order awarded by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), a defense agency, to Washington Chain & Supply, Inc. The contract is for the procurement of detachable links and related hardware such as lead plugs and chain shackles, with a total ceiling value of $40,664.00.
The original solicitation was a small business set-aside, posted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maritime Norfolk Contracting Division, seeking these specialized marine deck equipment components that meet military specifications. Washington Chain & Supply, a self-certified small disadvantaged business, was awarded this contract to deliver the detachable links, lead plugs, and chain shackles to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. This award is likely part of the Navy's broader efforts to equip its maritime fleet with the necessary rigging and anchoring hardware from qualified small business suppliers.
