About this opportunity
The Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a specialized 12-strand, 900-foot towing hawser in accordance with military specification MIL-R-24750 for the USS MESA VERDE. This procurement, designated as solicitation N0018925Q0415, is being conducted as a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items under a firm-fixed-price contract structure. Vendors must provide comprehensive quotes that include detailed item descriptions, lead times, country of origin information, and all associated costs including shipping, with pricing evaluated based on reasonableness in accordance with FAR 13.106. The government requires delivery within 18 weeks after receipt of order and emphasizes that simple copying of the RFQ description is inadequate - vendors must demonstrate sufficient technical detail to prove item acceptability. Questions regarding this solicitation must be submitted by July 22, 2025, at 11:00 AM EST to contract point of contact Elysia Allen, with all quotes due by July 28, 2025.
This procurement opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 314994 (Rope, Cordage, Twine, Tire Cord, and Tire Fabric Mills) with a size standard of 1,000 employees, and no incumbent contractor information is provided in the solicitation documents. The contract calls for delivery of a single unit (quantity of 1 EA) of the towing hawser along with associated equipment including chafing chain, detachable links, towing thimbles, pelican hook, anchor shackle, and towing pad. Performance will occur at the USS MESA VERDE located at 1968 Morris Street Building Y109 Door 11 in Norfolk, Virginia 23511, with FOB Destination terms. While no specific contract value is disclosed in the solicitation, vendors must provide all-inclusive pricing that covers the complete scope of work. The technical requirements are supported by detailed engineering drawings and salient characteristics documents that specify the non-rotating, single braided design requirements for this critical naval towing equipment.
