The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 300 units of CWLD Receptacle Connector Assembly under NSN 1355-01-476-1596. This procurement involves torpedo components and falls under the Explosives Manufacturing NAICS category, indicating specialized military hardware requirements. The contract includes first article testing (FAT), lot acceptance testing (LAT), and contractor data requirements list (CDRLS) with FOB destination terms, while deliverable items are FOB origin. The government has determined this is not a commercial item acquisition under Part 12 policies based on market research, though interested vendors may identify commercial alternatives within 15 days of this notice. The pre-solicitation response deadline is August 5, 2025, with the formal solicitation to be available no earlier than that date.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside, making it exclusively available to qualified small business contractors. The delivery schedule specifies 330 days after definite contract (DADC) or as determined in the final solicitation, with options included in the contract structure. No incumbent contractors are identified in this pre-solicitation notice. Technical data and specifications will be accessible through SAM.gov rather than paper copies, and the Navy emphasizes that all responsible small business sources may submit offers for consideration. The procurement appears to be part of ongoing military torpedo system maintenance or production requirements, given the specialized nature of the connector assembly components.
