Socket head cap screw (level 1)

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is procuring 52 socket head cap screws (1-1/4"-7UNRC-2A X 2.750", Type II, Grade 500, self-locking) that meet MIL-DTL-1222 specifications for critical shipboard systems. These are classified as Special Emphasis Level I materials requiring rigorous quality control procedures, ISO-9000 compliant Quality Management Systems, comprehensive certification documentation, and detailed material traceability due to their critical nature where failure could result in serious personnel injury, loss of life, or ship damage. Contractors must provide complete solicitation packets including cage codes, manufacturer information, country of origin, lead times, and FOB destination pricing to Bremerton, WA. The evaluation will focus on responsiveness to detailed technical requirements, proper completion of all required documentation sections (boxes 17A, 28, and 30 a-c), and compliance with NIST SP 800-171 standards unless the items qualify as Commercial Off The Shelf products. All quotes must be submitted by 11:00 AM on June 23, 2025, via email to jack.edwards@dla.mil or fax to 360-476-4121.

This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing), with no incumbent contractors identified in the documentation. The contract requires delivery to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington 98314, with an original delivery deadline of June 5, 2025, and overnight delivery requested for urgency. The procurement includes an additional two fasteners beyond the primary 52 units that will be used specifically for destructive testing purposes. The solicitation emphasizes strict quality control measures with potential disqualification for non-compliance, reflecting the critical nature of these components in naval maritime applications. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the specialized nature of these Level I materials and stringent certification requirements suggest this is a high-value procurement despite the relatively small quantity of items being acquired.
