Machined Stator Blade Row IAW SOR & Drawing (RFQ)

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is soliciting quotes for the precision machining of one shrouded stator blade row for the Turbopropulsion Laboratory at the Naval Postgraduate School. The component must be machined from 316 stainless steel to exact specifications and tolerances suitable for high-speed rotating machinery environments, with all work performed to the geometry and tolerances specified in the provided technical drawings. Contractors must be International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) certified and capable of complex precision machining, with the ability to provide comprehensive dimensional inspection reports proving compliance with all critical dimensions. The procurement will be awarded using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation process under FAR Part 13.106, where quotes will be evaluated based on technical capability and price. Quotes must be submitted via SAM.GOV by September 2, 2025, and must include completed Standard Form 1449, pricing pages, and proof of qualifications limited to three pages maximum.

This solicitation indicates no set-aside designation is being used, contrary to one document that mentioned Women-Owned Small Business set-aside, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the materials. While no specific contract value is disclosed, this appears to be a relatively small procurement given the single-unit quantity and simplified acquisition procedures being employed. The contractor will be required to deliver one experimental stator blade row designed for gas turbine compressor stage testing, with delivery required between September 30, 2025, and October 30, 2025. The place of performance will be at the contractor's machine shop facility, with final delivery to the Naval Postgraduate School Warehouse in Monterey, California. CAD models and detailed technical drawings will be provided to the selected contractor to support the precision manufacturing requirements.
