Screw, cap, socket he

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime has issued a solicitation for the procurement of screw, cap, socket head items classified under NAICS code 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing). The procurement specifically requires 64 screws and 2 certifications, designated as Controlled Industrial Material (CIM) with stringent quality requirements including Mercury Exclusion Clause compliance and Traceable Objective Quality Evidence (OQE). Offerors must submit their responses using Standard Form 1449 via email to Contracting Officer Wongduean Guajardo at wongduean.a.guajardo.civ@us.navy.mil by 11:00 AM on August 28, 2025. The evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology with three key factors: Technical Capability, Estimated Time of Delivery (ETD), and Price. All questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted electronically to the contracting officer, and offers failing to provide required representations or rejecting solicitation terms may be excluded from consideration.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with a size standard of 600 employees for the applicable NAICS code. The contract includes unique item identification requirements for items with unit acquisition costs of $5,000 or more, suggesting this procurement involves high-value precision components. Delivery is required by September 5, 2025, to DLA Distribution at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, indicating a relatively short performance timeline of approximately one week after contract award. The solicitation was posted on August 25, 2025, providing only three business days for offerors to prepare and submit their responses. No incumbent contractor information or specific contract value is disclosed in the available documentation, though the controlled nature of the materials and certification requirements suggest this is a specialized procurement for critical defense applications.
