Mast section

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure mast section equipment classified under the Antennas, Waveguides, and Related Equipment category (PSC 5985). This pre-solicitation notice indicates the acquisition of specialized naval components with specific technical documentation requirements, including a technical data package (TDP) version 006. While the pre-solicitation notice does not explicitly detail evaluation criteria or specific contract requirements beyond the technical specifications referenced by the NSN (National Stock Number), interested parties should anticipate that proposals will likely be evaluated based on technical capability, compliance with naval specifications, and delivery performance. The notice was posted on May 14, 2025, with a solicitation due date of July 20, 2026, providing potential offerors an extended window to prepare their responses and submit questions regarding the procurement.

This is a Total Small Business set-aside opportunity, restricting competition to small business entities that meet SBA size standards for their respective industrial classification. The procurement specifies a quantity of 8 units with delivery required to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine (facility code N50286). The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide an explicit budget value, though the federal meta opportunity ID 68249c5f37e32043e308d9b3 can be used to track the solicitation for additional details as they are released. The lengthy timeline between the pre-solicitation posting and the final due date suggests this is a complex procurement requiring substantial technical preparation and coordination with the Naval Supply Systems Command.
