About this opportunity
Naval Sea Systems Command on behalf of Norfolk Naval Shipyard seeks 5,264 linear feet of Chromalox Model SRL 5-1CR heat tracing strip tape (Part Number 382758) under a sole-source procurement, with proposals due September 22, 2026. Amendment 00001, issued September 18, 2026, converted the original WOSB set-aside into a sole-source determination after initial competitive responses from third-party sources demonstrated substantial price increases and failed to provide cost-effective alternatives to the OEM.
Place of performance is Portsmouth, Virginia. The procurement specifies a self-regulating, flat ribbon-type tape rated at 5 watts per foot heat output at 50 degrees Fahrenheit, operating on 115/120 volts AC at 60 cycles, single phase, with maximum width of 1/2 inch. The tape must feature a positive temperature coefficient core, maintain constant temperature across a minimum of 250 linear feet, be field-cuttable without cold spots, and withstand bending at 180 degrees in a 1-inch radius at 10 degrees Fahrenheit without insulation cracking. Insulation resistance must be a minimum of 400 megohms per 1000 linear feet after 24-hour water immersion, and the tape must pass 2500-volt dielectric testing for a minimum of one minute following all bend, water immersion, and aging tests. No substitutes are permitted. Delivery is required by December 4, 2026, FOB destination to Norfolk Naval Shipyard Building 276, with inspection and acceptance at both origin and destination.
The contract will be firm fixed price. Vendors must submit a completed SF 1449, Continuation Sheet (Attachment B), Technical Capability Statement (Attachment C) with certification of specification compliance, and an all-inclusive quote covering shipping and all associated costs. A quantity tolerance of plus or minus 10 percent is acceptable. Mercury-free compliance and certificate of compliance clauses apply. The NAICS code is 333414, Heating Equipment Manufacturing; PSC is 4520, Space and Water Heating Equipment.

Update #2 · Latest ·
Amendment 0001 - Septmeber 18, 2026 The solicitation is being amended to proceed under a sole source determination to Chromalox. The Government issued an initial Solicitation and received multiple small-business offers; however, the responses demonstrated that third party sources introduced substantial price increases and did not provide a cost effective or viable alternative to the OEM. These results further validate that procurement from Chromalox, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer, is required to maintain operational integrity and prevent mission delays as well as unnecessary cost impacts. Accordingly, the solicitation is amended to reflect a sole source procurement to Chromalox to ensure continuity of operations and alignment with established performance requirements.
Please see attachments for amendment information.
