About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command has issued solicitation N4215825QE080 for red tape testing services at Norfolk Naval Shipyard. The contractor will conduct comprehensive testing on ten samples of red duct tape using standardized ASTM testing procedures to evaluate characteristics including adhesion to steel and backing, quick stick, elongation, tensile strength, curling properties, water penetration rate, and unwind properties. The primary objective is to determine the potential for extending the shelf life of red duct tape through detailed performance analysis with specific tolerances typically within +/- 10% of target values. Contractors must demonstrate technical capability to meet all specifications outlined in the Statement of Work and complete a Technical Capabilities Statement certifying their competence without exceptions. The solicitation was posted on July 21, 2025, with responses due by July 25, 2025, providing only four days for proposal preparation.
This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside with specific mention of women-owned small businesses being eligible for the contract. The contract value is listed at $19,000,000, though this appears inconsistent with the scope of testing ten tape samples. The period of performance runs from the date of award through September 30, 2025, with work to be conducted at the contractor's facility rather than on government premises. Testing must be performed on ten different tape samples across multiple contract/NSN numbers, with seven specific tests required for each sample. The place of performance is designated as Portsmouth, Virginia, and contractors must maintain proper segregation and identification of NNSY materials throughout the testing process.
