Bar, metal

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure metal bars through a pre-solicitation notice for a specific National Stock Number (NSN 1H-9510-001517374-L1). The procurement involves a Technical Data Package (TDP) version 006 for 100 linear feet of metal bars to be delivered to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, the opportunity appears to be focused on supplying precise metal components for naval engineering or maintenance purposes. The solicitation was initially posted on August 8, 2024, with a response deadline of March 21, 2025, providing potential contractors with an extended period to prepare and submit their proposals. The procurement falls under the Product Service Code (PSC) 9510 for Bars and Rods, indicating a specialized material acquisition.

The contract opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, which means only small businesses are eligible to compete for this procurement. The specific quantity requirement is 100 linear feet of metal bars, suggesting a targeted, potentially critical supply need for naval operations or equipment maintenance. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The procurement is being managed by the Naval Supply Systems Command, a defense agency responsible for logistics and supply chain management within the U.S. Navy. The detailed Technical Data Package (TDP version 006) implies strict specifications and quality control requirements for the metal bars, which suggests the materials are likely for specialized or precision naval applications.
