The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is soliciting proposals for the complete overhaul and restoration of 96 Dolly Lashing Straps used in SSN-688 Class Submarine weapons handling equipment at Norfolk Naval Shipyard. The contractor must inspect, disassemble, restore, reassemble, and perform weight testing on these serialized units in accordance with NAVSEA technical drawings, including replacement of software and mandatory material items, repair or replacement of damaged components, and application of plating and plastisol coating. Key contractor qualifications include maintaining U.S. citizenship for all personnel requiring shipyard access and obtaining a confidential security clearance. The Navy will evaluate quotations primarily on technical capability and delivery performance, with price serving as a secondary but potentially significant evaluation factor. The deadline for proposal submission is December 8, 2025 at 12:00 pm EST, with quotes to be submitted via email to Miracle Griffin in Microsoft Word, Excel, or PDF format, and all proposals must remain valid for 60 days.

This solicitation (RFQ N4215826QB500) is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), with small business size standards of 1,300 employees. The estimated contract value is approximately $1.64 million based on the unit acquisition cost of $17,053.45 per lashing strap multiplied by 96 units. The period of performance runs from December 15, 2025 through July 8, 2026, with equipment to be returned to Norfolk Naval Shipyard no later than August 5, 2026 to support Combat Systems Testing. The contractor will be responsible for pickup and return of all equipment to the shipyard in Chesapeake, Virginia, performing the work at their own facility. All offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide pricing, shipping costs, point of contact information, business size certification, and payment terms with their quotation.
