OEM "K-flex USA, LLC" - insulation pipe part(S)

The Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound (FLC PS), operating under the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought announcement to identify interested vendors for the procurement of OEM K-Flex USA, LLC insulation pipe parts in support of SRF-JRMC operations. The specific items being sought include insulation pipe covering (1-1/2" IPS, 2.000" ID x 1" THK x 6 FT/EA, 7 EA/CT) and rubber sheet materials (3/4" THK x 3 FT W x 4 FT L), both composed of K-Flex Eco non-halogen rubber foam. This is a market research initiative rather than a formal request for quote, and the government assumes no financial responsibility for costs incurred in responding. Interested vendors must submit responses by April 24, 2026, to Walid Aslan (walid.m.aslan.civ@us.navy.mil) and should include organizational name, physical address, CAGE code, email, website, telephone number, and small business classification status. No feedback or evaluations will be provided to respondents, and the results of this market research may inform future procurement decisions.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with a NAICS code of 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) and a small business size standard of $22 million. The procurement does not reference a specific incumbent contractor, though it identifies K-Flex USA, LLC as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the required materials. No specific award value or contract budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, as the announcement is purely exploratory in nature. The notice falls under PSC Category 5640 (Wallboard, Building Paper, and Thermal Insulation Materials) and represents an initial vendor identification effort that may lead to formal solicitation activity in the future.
