Tile 24 X24 inch

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 2,000 tiles measuring 24 x24 inches under NSN 1H-2090-016160268-ST, classified as miscellaneous ship and marine equipment. This procurement requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain part quality, as approved sources retain essential data rights, manufacturing knowledge, and technical data not economically available to the government. Offerors must meet qualification requirements at the time of award in accordance with FAR clause 52.209-1, and alternate sources must qualify through procedures approved by the cognizant government engineering activity. The government has determined through market research that FAR Part 12 commercial item policies will not be used for this solicitation. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on October 7, 2025, with responses due by November 20, 2025, and interested parties have 15 days from the notice date to identify their capability to satisfy requirements with commercial items.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors who can meet the stringent engineering approval requirements. The contract calls for delivery of 2,000 individual tile units on an FOB origin basis, meaning the contractor bears responsibility for shipping costs and risk until the goods are delivered to the specified origin point. No incumbent contractors or potential award values are identified in the pre-solicitation documentation. The technical data package version 004 reference indicates this is an established item with specific engineering requirements that must be maintained through the approved source qualification process. The 44-day response window between posting and due date provides contractors time to demonstrate their qualification status and prepare comprehensive proposals addressing the unique design capabilities and manufacturing knowledge requirements.
