HX Fastener BOA Item 7001AA

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking to procure 140 units of BOA Item 7001AA, a specific X2 socket head cap screw (NSN: 1H 5305-01-335-6442) through a solicitation issued by the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. Vendors must possess the 2021 Portsmouth Naval Shipyard C. R. Gilbert / E. F. Dickson Fastener Program Manual and demonstrate compliance with quality requirements, either through a Basic Ordering Agreement or by meeting MIL-I-45208 or ISO 9001/9002 standards. The procurement will be evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, considering technical capability, price, and past performance. Interested vendors must submit their quotes by January 14, 2025, at 9:00 AM EST, and be prepared to provide at least three relevant past performance references from the previous five years. Additionally, participants must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and adhere to "Buy American" requirements.

The solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only small businesses are eligible to compete for this contract. The place of performance is located in Kittery, Maine, and the contract will be awarded on an "All or None" basis. Vendors will be subject to PPIRS (Past Performance Information Retrieval System) evaluation procedures, and the payment terms are Net 30 Days with F.O.B. Destination. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves 140 units of the specified fastener, which suggests a focused and potentially moderate-value contract. The naval shipyard's detailed requirements, including specific material certifications and adherence to the BOA Book specifications, indicate a precise and technically demanding procurement process that requires vendors to meet stringent quality and documentation standards.
