Black Bay Aerospace LLC, a small disadvantaged and service-disabled veteran-owned business based in Boca Raton, Florida, was awarded a $31,260 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Naval Sea Systems Command on July 3, 2025, for the procurement of Delrin AF DE-588 plastic sheets. The contract, which is set aside for total small businesses, calls for the delivery of four 2' x 2' squares of 3.5-inch-thick Delrin plastic material for use at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. The ultimate completion date is November 14, 2025, providing Black Bay Aerospace approximately four months to fulfill the order. The solicitation, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime division, specified strict material requirements with no substitutes permitted and required vendors to submit a Certificate of Compliance and Chemical & Mechanical Certification/Data Report alongside their quotations.

This award reflects the Naval Sea Systems Command's ongoing procurement of specialized materials and components essential to shipyard operations and maintenance activities. Black Bay Aerospace, which maintains sixteen active Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency with ceiling values ranging from $250,000 to $1.5 million, has demonstrated sustained capability in supplying aerospace and maritime components to federal defense agencies since 2016. The contract utilizes simplified acquisition procedures with a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation methodology, typical for commercial item procurements under the small business set-aside program.
