Request for Quote (RFQ) number is N66604-24-Q-0049.

This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6-Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. In accordance with FAR 5.203(b) this combined synopsis and solicitation will be posted for less than fifteen (15) days.

This requirement is being solicited on an unrestricted basis as concurred with by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP).

Quotes received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future.
