Brand Name or Equal to Marmon Cable Reels

The Department of the Army is soliciting quotes for 2,500 linear feet of special purpose electrical cable, specifically brand name or equal to Marmon Part Number 17-1532, to be supplied on continuous reels of 500 feet each. The cable must comply with Military Standard MIL-C-27500 and meet detailed salient characteristics including an operating temperature range of -55°C to +80°C, PTFE insulation with a polyurethane jacket, and resistance to fuels, lubricants, and solvents. The procurement requires new equipment only, with refurbished or used items unacceptable, and mandates that the polyurethane jacket be pushable back 3 inches without damage for inspection purposes. Quotes must be submitted by May 4, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST to the purchasing agent, Alicia Piercy, at alicia.a.piercy.civ@army.mil, and should include a signed Standard Form 1449, pricing information, and proposed delivery dates. The evaluation will utilize firm fixed pricing, and the award will incorporate standard FAR and DFARS clauses including Buy American provisions and DPAS rating requirements.

This solicitation is designated as a 100% small business set-aside specifically for women-owned small businesses (WOSB), limiting competition to qualified firms meeting these criteria. The cable must be delivered to Tobyhanna Army Depot in Pennsylvania by July 14, 2026, under FOB destination terms with the contractor bearing all transportation costs. No incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation documents, suggesting this may be a new procurement or a rebid of previous requirements. The specific quantity of 2,500 linear feet represents five complete 500-foot reels, making this a relatively modest procurement in terms of volume. Payment will be processed through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system using firm fixed price methodology, with the final contract value dependent on the quoted unit price and any applicable adjustments for compliance with regulatory requirements.
