Tank assy, ICM

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 12 units of a Tank Assembly (NSN 7H-2040-016632266-L1) with Technical Data Package Version 001. The procurement will be delivered FOB Origin, indicating the supplier is responsible for initial shipping and transfer of goods. This pre-solicitation notice suggests the Navy is preparing to solicit bids for a marine hardware contract specifically targeting small businesses. The opportunity is currently in the pre-solicitation phase, with potential bidders having until January 22, 2025, to prepare and submit their proposals. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the notice, typical naval procurement assessments often include factors such as technical capability, past performance, pricing, and manufacturing readiness.

The contract is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, which means only small businesses meeting specific size and qualification standards may compete for the opportunity. The procurement falls under Product Service Code (PSC) 2040, specifically categorized as Marine Hardware and Hull Items. The quantity requirement is precisely 12 units, which suggests a targeted, specialized procurement rather than a large-scale acquisition. The notice was initially posted on December 24, 2024, providing potential contractors approximately 30 days to prepare their responses. The specific contract value is not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, which is common at this stage of the procurement process, but the specialized nature of the tank assembly implies a potentially significant contract value for qualified small business contractors.
