The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is soliciting quotations for the procurement of self-locking cap screws (NSN 1HM 5305-01-670-8159 D4) through a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The government intends to make a single award to the eligible, responsible, and technically acceptable offeror whose offer provides the best value, with past performance weighted more heavily than price in the evaluation methodology. Contractors must comply with FF-S-86 Type VIII Grade N400 specifications and MIL-DTL-18240 standards for the self-locking element, maintain either ISO 9001 or MIL-I-45208 quality systems, and provide mechanical property and metallographic testing per ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 Inspection Level S-1. The material is designated as Special Emphasis Level I, requiring strict control procedures and a certificate of compliance. Quotations are due by April 9, 2026, and contractors must submit certification data and a DD Form 1423 Inspection and Test Plan to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard via WAWF prior to shipment.

This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to eligible small businesses. The procurement requires delivery of 10 units with a delivery timeline of 186 days from contract award to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Kittery, Maine (Activity Code N50286). Inspection and acceptance will occur at the contractor's facility, and no material may be shipped without prior acceptance from the government. The solicitation is subject to DPAS DO-rated order certification requirements, and packaging must comply with MIL-STD-2073-1 standards. While no specific contract value is disclosed in the solicitation, the relatively modest quantity of 10 units and specialized fastener requirements indicate this is likely a small-dollar procurement typical of naval supply operations.
