Bubble wind 0. 5THK

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 6 units of "BUBBLE WIND 0.5THK" items under NSN 1H-9340-016726037-D7, classified as glass fabricated materials. The items are to be delivered to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, with the technical data package version 004 serving as the specification reference. This pre-solicitation notice indicates that interested parties can obtain military specifications, standards, and other standardized documents from the DoD Single Stock Point or through the ASSIST-Online portal at http://quicksearch.dla.mil/. The procurement process will require vendors to follow standard Federal Acquisition Regulation procedures, though specific evaluation criteria have not yet been detailed in this preliminary notice. The response deadline for this opportunity is September 22, 2025, giving potential contractors exactly one month from the August 22, 2025 posting date to prepare their submissions.

This procurement is designated as a 100% set-aside for small business concerns under FAR clause 52.219-6, though the specific type of small business set-aside will be determined in the formal solicitation document. The contracting authority has indicated that the final set-aside category could include HUBZone businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, economically disadvantaged women-owned small businesses, women-owned small businesses eligible under the WOSB program, or historically black colleges and universities and minority institutions. The quantity requirement is limited to 6 units, suggesting a relatively modest procurement value, though no specific dollar amounts or budget ranges have been disclosed in this preliminary notice. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are mentioned in the documentation, indicating this may be an open competition among qualified small businesses. The delivery location is specified as Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, which suggests these items are likely components for naval vessel maintenance or construction activities.
