Seal, plain encased

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 86 units of a specific plain encased seal with National Stock Number 1H-5330-015441832-SQ under Technical Drawing Package version 011. This pre-solicitation notice indicates a forthcoming competitive procurement opportunity for small businesses interested in supplying packaging and gasket materials. The contract will be fulfilled via FOB origin delivery, suggesting the supplier will be responsible for initial transportation of goods. The solicitation is currently in a pre-solicitation phase, with responses due by December 27, 2024. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the notice, typical federal procurement assessments generally include factors such as technical compliance, pricing, past performance, and ability to meet specified requirements.

The opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, which means only small businesses are eligible to compete for this contract. The procurement is classified under Product Service Code 5330, specifically for Packing and Gasket Materials, and is associated with the Defense sector. The relatively small quantity of 86 units suggests this may be a specialized or replacement order rather than a large-scale procurement. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the pre-solicitation notice. The contract will be managed through the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), a critical logistics and supply chain management organization within the Department of the Navy responsible for providing a wide range of support to naval operations.
