Timber

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command has issued Request for Quote N0040625QS373 seeking timber procurement services under a firm fixed-price contract arrangement. The solicitation requires 1,350 units of oak timber with specific dimensional requirements of 8" (H) x 16" (W) x 56" (L), meeting quality specifications that include square edged, straight construction without visible loose defects, and ranging from green to partially air dried condition. The timber must be packed on pallets with steel strapping, end coated with paraffin, and include spacers between woods to prevent decay during transport and storage. Evaluation will be based on technical factors, delivery date, price, and past performance with no specific order of importance established for these criteria. The solicitation was posted on August 22, 2025, with responses due by August 29, 2025, requiring delivery completion by August 31, 2025.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, though the government file indicates it is specifically reserved for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the solicitation documentation. The contract does not specify award values or budget ranges, maintaining focus on the technical specifications and delivery requirements. The timber must be delivered to the SRF and JRMC Yokosuka facility in Japan, establishing the place of performance in an overseas military installation. The tight timeline between solicitation posting and required delivery date of August 31, 2025, indicates an urgent procurement need with minimal lead time for contractor response and material sourcing.
