MK70 Booster Ballast Kits

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division, under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, is conducting a market survey to identify potential contractors for the fabrication, acceptance inspection, and delivery of MK70 Booster Ballast Hardware Kits. This is a sources sought notice designed to gather company capabilities and information rather than a formal request for proposal, and the Government reserves the right to reject or modify any input received. Interested contractors must submit company brochures, capability statements, product literature, organizational details, and business information including DUNS number and CAGE Code by December 8, 2025, via email to Diane Hicks at diane.d.hicks.civ@us.navy.mil. The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price contract with an anticipated performance period spanning from June 30, 2026, through June 30, 2031. No certifications, qualifications, or security clearances are specified as requirements for this procurement. This market survey will not result in an award, though respondents should understand that a formal solicitation notice may be published at a later date.

This procurement does not carry any small business set-aside designation. The requirement is not new and was previously awarded under contract N0017418D0014, indicating continuity from prior procurement efforts. The notice does not disclose specific award values or budget ranges for the contract. The work falls within the Machine Shops industry category (NAICS 332710) and the Rocket Engines and Components product service code (PSC 2845), suggesting the kits involve precision manufacturing and defense-related propulsion components. The anticipated five-year contract period reflects a requirement for sustained production and delivery capability over an extended timeframe. Interested sources have until December 8, 2025, to respond to this market survey, with no obligation on the Government to provide feedback on submitted information.
