Machined Stator Blade Row IAW SOR & Drawing

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a machined shrouded stator blade row for the Naval Postgraduate School's Turbopropulsion Laboratory experimental gas turbine research program. The component must be manufactured from 316 stainless steel to precise specifications outlined in provided technical drawings and CAD models, with tight dimensional tolerances of 0.002 inches and surface finish requirements of 63 CLA. Contractors must demonstrate ITAR certification and capability to meet the complex machining requirements, including the ability to produce components with intricate blade geometry from a solid stainless steel billet. The evaluation will focus on contractors' capability statements and past performance information related to similar precision machining work, with emphasis on their ability to achieve specified tolerances and provide comprehensive dimensional inspection reports. The government posted this pre-solicitation notice on August 20, 2025, with responses due by August 26, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. The contract requires delivery of one complete shrouded stator blade row to the Naval Postgraduate School Warehouse in Monterey, California, with the delivery timeline remaining flexible due to the complexity of the manufacturing requirements. The component features sophisticated specifications including 8 equi-spaced drill holes, 4 equi-spaced #10-32 UNF tapped jacking screw holes, and precise geometric constraints with placement faces perpendicular to each other at 900.1 degrees. No incumbent contractor or budget information has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The procurement emphasizes 100% quality inspection standards and requires the selected contractor to demonstrate specialized machining capabilities suitable for high-vibration aerospace environments.
