The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) is seeking to procure one Empire Abrasive Equipment ProFormer Blast Cabinet 3642, model PRC-6, through Request for Quotation N6660425Q0556. This is a brand name specific requirement with no substitutions allowed, justified by the equipment's unique compatibility with the government's existing dust collection infrastructure. The procurement operates under a Firm Fixed Price contract structure with delivery required no later than September 30, 2025, F.O.B. destination to Newport, Rhode Island. Award will be made using Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation criteria, requiring offerors to provide quotes for the specific item, meet delivery terms, and complete required SAM.gov representations.

This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees. No incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. While no specific contract value is disclosed, items with a government unit acquisition cost of $5,000 or more require unique item identifiers, suggesting the equipment value meets or exceeds this threshold. The electrical specifications indicate the equipment requires 230V/60 Amp/1 phase power supply, as clarified in Amendment 0001. Performance will occur at the Naval facility in Newport, Rhode Island, with the procurement carrying a Defense Priorities and Allocations System rating of DO-C9.
