About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to procure Fiberglass Mast Fairings and Support Services for submarine antenna systems. The agency seeks to gather market research on potential contractors capable of manufacturing, testing, and delivering fiberglass composite structures including mast fairings, radomes, and antenna closure caps for various submarine classes such as 688 Class and 730 Class. Contractors must demonstrate capabilities in fabricating complex composite structures, with specific requirements including specialized facilities, equipment like a 50-foot planer miller, and optical alignment capabilities. Interested firms must submit capability statements electronically to Contract Specialist Destiny Speller by March 13, 2025, at 4:30 PM, with responses not exceeding 10 pages. The RFI is strictly for market research purposes under FAR Part 10 and does not constitute a commitment to contract.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside status for this opportunity, suggesting it is open to all qualified contractors. The initial procurement will involve producing first article and production units, including 6 units of 688 Class OE-538 Mast Fairing Assemblies, 6 units of 688 Class MMM Fairing Assemblies, and 5 units of 730 Class MFM Faired Mast Assemblies. Key personnel requirements include program managers, engineering technicians, machinery maintenance mechanics, and quality control inspectors with specific expertise in glass-reinforced composites. While no specific budget range is mentioned, the complexity of the fabrication requirements suggests a significant technical and potentially high-value contract. Contractors will need to demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in composite manufacturing, including facilities with paint booth capacity for 23-foot masts and advanced technical skills in precision composite structure production.
