Metals
The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst is seeking to establish Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for metals procurement to support Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment (ALRE), Common Support Equipment (CSE), and Peculiar Support Equipment (PSE) for Naval operations. This combined synopsis/solicitation N6833525Q0321 follows FAR Parts 12 and 13 for commercial items and represents a streamlined acquisition method where qualified vendors will compete for individual requirements through the Lakehurst BPA Tool rather than traditional contracting processes. Interested vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), maintain a valid CAGE Code, and comply with federal acquisition regulations including FAR, DFARS, and NMCARS provisions. The evaluation will award individual calls to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offer, with vendors required to respond to Request for Quotes within one business day and acknowledge all calls/orders to remain on the BPA calling list. The solicitation submission deadline is March 11, 2026, and NAWCAD will not issue a formal Request for Proposal but will review company qualifications through this combined synopsis process.
This opportunity is set aside exclusively for Small Business concerns under FAR Part 19.501, with the government intending to award multiple BPAs using Simplified Acquisitions Procedures. The BPA establishes a five-year master dollar limit of $4,999,999.00, with individual call limits not exceeding $250,000 and restricted to the warrant authority of the individual placing each call. The NAICS code 331410 (Nonferrous Metal except Aluminum Smelting and Refining) and PSC 9530 (Bars And Rods, Nonferrous Base Metal) specifically define the metals commodity scope for this procurement. Performance will be F.O.B. Destination to NAWCAD Lakehurst in New Jersey, with delivery restrictions including no Friday deliveries and required delivery hours between 7:30 AM and 3:00 PM. Vendors selected for the BPA will utilize the new NAWCAD BPA Tool system, which replaced the previous Unison platform effective September 30, 2023, for streamlined bid submission and order management processes.
