Magnet

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is procuring 18,009 magnets for the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard through solicitation SPMYM225Q2555. The specific requirement is for 95 lb pull, 3-3/16" diameter x .440" thick bonded magnets with a 1/4" center mount hole, manufactured by Master Magnetics and identified with NSN 3990-LL-S05-3121. Contractors must comply with NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity requirements unless the items are deemed Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS), and must provide a current assessment not more than 3 years old. Bidders are required to identify and provide manufacturer name, country of origin, and lead time information to the contracting officer during the solicitation period. The solicitation was posted on August 21, 2025, with offers due by 5:00 PM on August 22, 2025, and must be submitted via email to JUNGHEE.KIM@DLA.MIL or fax to 360-476-4121. Complete and signed solicitations are mandatory, as incomplete submissions will not be considered for award.

This procurement is set aside as a total small business opportunity, targeting small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, and women-owned small business concerns. Master Magnetics appears to be the specified manufacturer for these magnets, indicating a brand-specific requirement. The contract will be awarded on a fixed-price basis with delivery scheduled for August 29, 2025, providing a very tight timeline of just one week from the solicitation due date. Performance will take place at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard Receiving Officer facility in Bremerton, Washington 98314. The solicitation includes standard federal acquisition regulations covering cybersecurity, payment instructions, supply chain security, and telecommunications equipment restrictions. Given the specific technical requirements and tight delivery schedule, this appears to be a critical operational need for naval shipyard operations.
