About this opportunity
Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, part of the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, is issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for 160 units of AQUASEAL brand zippers (Part Number VFWBOR-101 SF1TZ Z PU31B N-ANTI TS-NEWH (LONG) (GOV), LENGTH 210). This is a brand-name-mandatory procurement justified by the fact that this specific part has been tested and approved for nuclear use and chemical quality requirements, eliminating the need for re-testing that would otherwise delay delivery to an active waterfront project. Vendors will be evaluated based on technical acceptability (which is mandatory), delivery schedule, price, and past performance, with award made to the responsible vendor offering the best value. The response deadline for quotations is Monday, March 2, 2026 at 11:30 AM EST, and quotations must be submitted via email with all vendors registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database. The primary point of contact is Lauren LeDuc at lauren.w.leduc.civ@us.navy.mil or 207-438-6335, with Dayna O'Brien serving as the alternate point of contact.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting eligibility to certified small businesses meeting the 750-employee size standard for NAICS code 339993 (Fastener, Button, Needle, and Pin Manufacturing). No incumbent contractor information is specified in the solicitation documentation. Quotations must include delivered pricing with freight included, availability information, price source documentation, and technical literature for the exact units being quoted, along with documentation of at least three relevant projects or contracts completed within the past five years. The required delivery date is March 13, 2026, providing a tight timeline of eleven days from the deadline to deliver all units. Performance will take place at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine 03904, and acceptable payment methods include WAWF (Wide Area Workflow) and the Government Commercial Purchase Card for amounts up to $100,000.
