Adapter

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is procuring supplies under the ADAPTER contract, specifically hose, pipe, tube, lubrication, and railing fittings identified by NSN 1H-4730-016039525-D4. This is a pre-solicitation notice indicating the Government's intent to negotiate with a single source under FAR 6.302-1; however, all responsible sources are invited to identify their interest and capability to respond. The Government will consider all proposals, quotations, or capability statements received within 45 days of publication (30 days if award will be issued under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement) to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The final determination to compete this requirement remains solely at the Government's discretion. The due date for submissions is January 5, 2026, providing potential offerors ample time to prepare their responses.

No set-aside designation has been applied to this procurement, meaning it is open to all qualified vendors regardless of size or socioeconomic status. The contract specifies a requirement for 5 units with delivery on a free-on-board origin basis, indicating the contractor will bear shipping costs from their location to the Government's designated delivery point. The technical data package version 005 governs the specifications and requirements for these components. While no specific award value is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the relatively modest quantity of five units and the specialized nature of naval supply fittings suggest a limited contract value. The posting date of August 7, 2024, with a due date of January 5, 2026, provides an extended acquisition timeline typical of government procurement processes.
