Plate, hsla-80

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is procuring controlled industrial material, specifically HSLA-80 steel plate measuring 0.500 inches thick and totaling 4 square feet. The material must meet stringent QQ-N-286 Revision G standards with specific mechanical properties, certification requirements, and quality control measures including chemical analysis, mechanical property tests, hardness tests, and traceability evidence. The solicitation requires contractors to demonstrate technical capability to supply this specialized steel plate and comply with various military and federal standards including mercury-free procurement and objective quality evidence requirements. The evaluation will be conducted on a low-cost, technically acceptable basis with factors ranked as Technical Capability, Price, and Delivery. The solicitation closes on September 12, 2025 at 12:00 PM Hawaii Standard Time, with quotes to be submitted via email to the contracting officer.

This procurement is designated as a small business set-aside under NAICS code 332999 with a size standard of 750 employees, though the main solicitation notice indicates no set-aside is used, creating some apparent contradiction in the documentation. No incumbent contractors or current contract holders are identified in the available materials. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the requirement is for a relatively small quantity of 4 square feet of specialized steel plate with delivery required by September 30, 2025. The place of performance is Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, with delivery to DLA Distribution in Hawaii, reflecting the military's need for high-strength steel materials in the Pacific theater of operations.
