Plate, metal

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment is seeking to procure 15 units of NSN 9535008245339 PLATE, METAL through a solicitation issued on March 11, 2025, with responses due by March 24, 2025. This Request for Quote (RFQ) is specifically targeting the nonferrous metal manufacturing sector, classified under NAICS 331491 for nonferrous metal rolling, drawing, and extruding. The solicitation requires electronic submission of quotes and indicates delivery must be completed within 160 days after order placement to the W1A8 DLA DISTRIBUTION location. All responsible sources are permitted to submit quotes, which will be evaluated based on their ability to meet the technical specifications and delivery requirements for the metal plates. The solicitation emphasizes electronic document retrieval, with no hard copies available, and mandates that all technical drawings and military specifications must be obtained through digital channels.

The contract opportunity is specifically set aside for HUBZone certified businesses, which provides a competitive advantage for small businesses located in historically underutilized business zones. The procurement falls under Product Service Code 95-P for metal bars, sheets, and shapes, suggesting a focus on specialized metal manufacturing capabilities. While specific award value details are not provided, the relatively small quantity of 15 units indicates this may be a targeted or specialized procurement with potentially limited financial scope. Contractors interested in responding must ensure they can meet the strict electronic submission requirements and have the technical capacity to produce the specified metal plates according to military standards. The performance location will be at the DLA Distribution point designated as W1A8, which implies a potential military logistics or supply chain context for the metal plate procurement.
