About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 35 kits of epoxy adhesive under NSN 1H-8040-012244909-ST, TDP VER 031, with delivery FOB origin. This procurement requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain part quality, as existing qualified sources retain unique design capabilities, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge that are not economically available to the Government. The approved sources possess essential data rights and technical knowledge critical to maintaining part quality. Any alternate source must qualify according to design control activity procedures approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity, and award will only be made if the offeror, product, or manufacturer meets qualification requirements at the time of award per FAR clause 52.209-1. Based on market research, the Government is not utilizing FAR Part 12 commercial item acquisition policies, though interested parties may identify their capability to satisfy requirements with commercial items within 15 days of the notice posted on July 30, 2025.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with a response deadline of August 15, 2025. The procurement involves a quantity of 35 kits of specialized epoxy adhesive that requires strict qualification standards due to the technical nature of the product. No specific incumbent contractors or potential award values are identified in the pre-solicitation notice. The Government has determined that qualified sources maintain proprietary data rights and manufacturing knowledge that create barriers to competition, necessitating the qualification process for any new suppliers. The 15-day window for commercial item identification suggests the Government is open to exploring commercial alternatives despite initially determining that FAR Part 12 policies are not applicable. The technical data package version 031 indicates this is a well-defined, mature product specification with established performance requirements.
