PNSY- Chrome Plating Request

Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is seeking quotes for specialized chrome plating services through solicitation N3904025Q4849, specifically requiring de-chrome and re-chrome plating of a cylinder bore surface (PC-180). The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is procuring these electroplating services, which involve applying nickel under-plating (.001-.0015" thick) and chromium plating (.0005" thick) to a steel cylinder component measuring 6-1/4" long by 5" wide and weighing approximately 15 pounds. Vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide a comprehensive Government Property Management System Plan along with detailed technical documentation. The evaluation will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, assessing technical acceptability, schedule adherence, pricing, and past performance. The solicitation has undergone multiple revisions with the final submission deadline extended to July 28, 2025 at 10:00 AM EST, with delivery required by August 15, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. While specific contract values are not disclosed, the Government Furnished Property attachment indicates the cylinder component has a unit acquisition cost of $5,000.00, suggesting the plating service value would be a fraction of this amount. The contract involves processing one cylinder unit and will be awarded on an "All or None" basis, with the contractor required to complete the work within approximately two weeks of award. Performance will occur at the vendor's facility rather than at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, and the government has provided detailed technical drawings and specifications to ensure precise adherence to military standards including MIL-S-21952, Type A, Grade HY80 for the steel material and specific surface finish requirements.
