The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has issued a Special Notice regarding the development of draft specification MIL-DTL-32087D for Inflation Device, Automatic, FLU-8B/P and FLU-9B/P. This notice pertains to cartridge and propellant actuated devices and components under the National Security NAICS category. The Department of the Navy is preparing updated specifications for these automatic inflation devices, which appear to be military equipment components. The notice emphasizes that this is not a solicitation for bids or proposals, but rather an informational announcement about upcoming specification development. The posting date is October 14, 2025, with a specified review period ending November 6, 2025.

NAVSEA's primary objective is to draft specifications and standards that accommodate various design solutions and processes while encouraging participation from a broad vendor base in future procurements. Interested parties can request copies of the draft document by emailing CommandStandards@navy.mil with the document number in the subject line and a brief message requesting the document. The review period for comments and feedback concludes on November 6, 2025, providing stakeholders approximately three weeks to examine the draft specifications. No specific eligibility criteria are outlined since this is an informational notice rather than a competitive opportunity. Once the specification development process is complete, the final document will be available through ASSIST Online at https://quicksearch.dla.mil/, allowing industry participants to access the finalized requirements for future procurement activities involving these automatic inflation devices.
