Penetrator assembly

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking procurement of Penetrator Assembly components, classified under electrical connectors (PSC 5935). This pre-solicitation notice indicates the government's intent to acquire these specialized components with a technical data package version 005, suggesting a mature product design with established specifications. The procurement will be evaluated based on the contractor's ability to meet the government's technical requirements, deliver quality products, and comply with defense contracting regulations. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in this pre-solicitation notice, potential bidders should anticipate assessment of technical capability, quality assurance processes, and compliance with Department of Defense standards. The due date for responses or proposals is May 4, 2026, providing interested contractors approximately six weeks from the posting date of March 19, 2026 to prepare their submissions.

This procurement opportunity is set aside exclusively for total small business participation, restricting competition to small business entities as defined by the Small Business Administration. The contract calls for delivery of ten units to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine (delivery code N50286), indicating a specific government facility requirement. No incumbent contractor information or specific award value has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The modest quantity of ten units suggests either a replacement parts requirement or a relatively limited production need. Interested small business contractors should begin preparing their technical and business proposals immediately to meet the May 4, 2026 deadline.
