This is a Total Small Business set-aside opportunity, meaning only entities meeting small business criteria are eligible to compete. The solicitation specifies a firm fixed-price contract for delivery to the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard in Hawaii, with a delivery deadline of November 7, 2025. No incumbent contractor or specific award value is identified in the solicitation materials. The procurement involves a relatively modest quantity of 60 one-ton bags of aluminum oxide, reflecting a targeted, short-timeline acquisition.
