Capsule Loading Covers

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) has a requirement to purchase thirty (30) Capsule Loading Covers (CLCs). NUWCDIVNPT intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) purchase order on a sole source basis to Mantec Services, Inc., 4400 24th Avenue West, Seattle, WA 98199-1236 (Cage Code 0CD29). The required Capsule Loading Covers (CLCs) are used to protect the TOMAHAWK Capsule Launching System (CLS) Capsule Closure Assembly during handling, shipping, and storage of the CLS All-Up-Round. Mantec Services, Inc. is already certified to perform this effort and its tooling is already set up to required precision. The process of certifying a different company is extensive and the oversight the Government will need to exhibit with a new vendor is cost and time prohibitive.

The delivery date is 6 months ARO.

F.O.B. Destination, Newport, RI (02841)
