Cold plates

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is procuring two cold plates (part numbers 930-22467RD1 and 930-22468RD) through solicitation SPMYM225Q2509. The procurement involves specialized cold plate components manufactured by D6 Industries, with an exception allowing brazing of customer-supplied fittings in place of welding specifications. Contractors must complete specific documentation requirements including signed solicitation forms, manufacturer information, lead times, and compliance with cybersecurity provisions under DFARS 252.204-7019 and NIST SP 800-171 unless the items qualify as Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products. The solicitation was issued on September 3, 2025, with the response deadline extended from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on September 4, 2025. Electronic submissions are available through SAM.gov, but responsive bids require signed and completed solicitations submitted via email or fax to the contracting officer.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 335999 with a size standard of 600 employees. D6 Industries, located in Lawrence, Massachusetts, appears to be the sole source manufacturer based on accompanying justification documents that emphasize the urgent nature of the requirement and the vendor's unique capability to meet project timelines. The procurement involves two line items, each consisting of one cold plate, with a total value under $250,000 as indicated in the sole source justifications. Performance will occur at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington, with air shipment authorized and delivery required as soon as possible to support the return of an operational asset to the fleet. The urgency is driven by the critical nature of these components for maintaining naval operations.
