icore parts- Conduit, tube, & Hub Box

The Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound is soliciting quotes for electromagnetic pulse (EMP) protection materials and components required to refurbish junction boxes on Navy equipment. The procurement encompasses four line items: EMP Conduit (20 feet), Stuffing Tube Swivel (1 each), Box Hub Coupling (10 each), and Box Hub Fitting (10 each), all of which are brand name products from iCORE International, now operating as Safran Electrical Component USA, LLC. This is an urgent solicitation issued under Request for Quote (RFQ) N0040626Q0028 with an offer due date of March 27, 2026 at 10:00 AM local time, allowing only four days for submission. The Government will evaluate quotes based on technical exact parts matching, delivery capability, price, and past performance with no stated order of relative importance, and reserves the right to make a single award to one quoter for the entire effort. All quotes must clearly note any exceptions from the solicitation's terms and conditions; quotes without noted exceptions will be assumed to take no exceptions. Interested parties should direct questions to Contracting Officer Lily Nguyen at lily.p.nguyen.civ@us.navy.mil or 564-230-2694.

This solicitation is set aside 100 percent for women-owned small businesses (WOSB), though the sole source justification indicates the products originate from iCORE International, a large business with over 1,500 employees. The procurement requires delivery by April 6, 2026 to Supply and Readiness Facility (SRF) and Japan Repair and Maintenance Center (JRMC) Yokosuka in Japan under FOB Origin terms, with shipping arranged through NAVSUP WSS. All contractors must be registered with SAM.gov and hold a valid CAGE code, and invoices must be submitted via WAWF (Wide Area WorkFlow). The justification for brand name restriction emphasizes that iCORE fittings have no compatibility with items manufactured by other companies, and that NAVSEA recommendations require using the same manufacturer for all EMP materials to ensure proper interface and testing compatibility. No specific dollar value or budget range is disclosed in the solicitation documents. The contracting office is located at Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound, with performance occurring at military installations in Japan.
