USMC Blank Data Plates

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is procuring 13,900 blank anodized aluminum data plates in various sizes to support Item Unique Identification (IUID) requirements for the United States Marine Corps. The procurement encompasses nine different plate configurations ranging from 1.5" x 0.75" to 12" x 10", with various attachment methods including adhesive and hole mounting options. This is structured as a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items under an all-or-none requirement, meaning partial quotes will be rejected and the entire order must be awarded to a single contractor. The evaluation will follow Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria, with the award going to the responsible offeror whose conforming offer provides the most advantage to the government based on the specified evaluation factors. All offerors must maintain active SAM registration, and quotes are due by August 29, 2025, with responses required in PDF or MS Word format via email submission.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting participation to qualifying small business entities. The contract quantities vary by plate type, ranging from 200 to 5,000 units per configuration, all manufactured from 6061 or 7075 aluminum material in black anodized finish. Pricing is structured as firm fixed price, with delivery required within 60 calendar days from the date of award to the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Norco, California. The government has indicated that industry Q&A sessions have concluded and no further questions will be acknowledged, suggesting the procurement is in its final stages before the quote submission deadline. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are disclosed in the solicitation materials.
