1377 - MS81 MS82 MS83 MS84 MS85 MS86 MS87 MS88 shielded mild detonating cord

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure shielded mild detonating cord with associated National Stock Numbers (NSN) through a pre-solicitation notice. The contract opportunity involves explosive ordnance items that require special security, safety, and transportation considerations, with a pre-award safety survey mandated for potential contractors. The Navy intends to solicit and negotiate with only two sources under FAR 6.302, though all responsible sources may submit a capability statement for consideration. Interested parties must identify their capability to satisfy the government's requirements with a commercial item within 15 days of the notice. Technical data will be available for viewing on SAM.gov, and paper copies of the solicitation will not be provided by the Navy.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates a delivery schedule consisting of four lots with varying quantities (654 DADC/690 DADC/735 DADC/780 DADC) and includes an 118 percent option. The contract is categorized under NAICS 325920 for Explosives Manufacturing and PSC 1377 for Cartridge and Propellant Actuated Devices and Components. First article testing, production lot testing, and specific contractor data requirements will be part of the contract specifications. The solicitation will be available no earlier than the response date of February 11, 2025, and applies DFARS 252.223-7002 for safety precautions related to ammunition and explosives. The government has determined that commercial item acquisition policies will not be utilized for this particular procurement.
