Adhesive

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is procuring adhesive products classified under PSC 8040 for delivery to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. This pre-solicitation notice indicates the Government's intent to negotiate with a single source under FAR 6.302-1 authority, though all responsible sources may submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements to express interest and capability. The procurement requires that the offeror, product, or manufacturer meet specific qualification requirements at the time of award, in accordance with FAR clause 52.209-1, with qualification details provided in the individual solicitation. The Government will evaluate responses received within 45 days of publication to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, and final award decisions will be made solely at the Government's discretion. The due date for responses is December 14, 2025, providing interested contractors with approximately one month to prepare and submit their proposals or capability statements.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting eligibility to qualified small business concerns. The specific requirement calls for National Stock Number 1H-8040-017190585-X3, TDP Version 002, with a quantity of 20 contract numbers scheduled for delivery to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The Government has determined that the data rights necessary to purchase or repair this part from additional sources are not available, and reverse engineering is economically unfeasible, justifying the single-source procurement approach. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, and no incumbent contractor information is provided. Qualified vendors interested in this procurement should submit their responses by the December 14, 2025 deadline to be considered for potential award.
