The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking to procure 10 NELSON NS40 Standard Duty Stud Guns for delivery to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard by August 1, 2025. This solicitation (SPMYM225Q2265) requires electronic submission through SAM.gov, with quotes due by 5:00 PM on July 18, 2025. Contractors must submit signed and completed solicitations via email or fax to be considered responsive, and must check applicable boxes in clause 52.204-24. The procurement requires compliance with various federal acquisition regulations including cybersecurity provisions, telecommunications equipment restrictions, and supply chain traceability requirements. Items deemed Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) are exempt from NIST SP 800-171 requirements, though contractors must identify and provide information about such items during the solicitation period.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with a size standard of 750 employees, specifically targeting small business concerns. The supporting documentation indicates Nelson Stud Welding as the manufacturer and Hanlon Stud Welding as the dealer for these replacement stud machines, which are needed to replace aging and worn equipment currently in use at the facility. The procurement involves 10 units of commercially packaged stud guns with specific marking and packaging requirements. Performance will take place in Bremerton, Washington at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, with delivery required by August 1, 2025. The solicitation appears to be justified as a sole source procurement under simplified acquisition procedures for less than $150,000, based on compatibility requirements with existing equipment.
