About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking sources for Maritime Buoyant Plates (MBP) through a pre-solicitation notice focused on limited source acquisition. The procurement will be a Firm Fixed Price contract supporting the U.S. Navy's upgrade of maritime buoyant plates in accordance with specific technical requirements. Interested companies must submit a detailed response no longer than 10 single-spaced pages, including a comprehensive company profile and capabilities statement that demonstrates prior experience with similar contracts. The submission deadline is April 15, 2025, and companies must provide information such as their SBA business size classification, employee count, CAGE code, DUNS number, and NAICS code. Evaluation will focus on companies' technical capabilities, prior contract performance, and ability to meet the Navy's specific technical requirements for interim production and technical support.
Three specific companies - ADS (CAGE 1CAY9), Mountain Horse (CAGE 852G0), and Point Blank (CAGE 4SF58) - have previously passed the first article test for this contract and are positioned as potential contractors. The procurement falls under NAICS code 326130 for Laminated Plastics Plate manufacturing, with a size standard of 650 employees. No specific set-aside designation has been applied, meaning all qualified companies can potentially compete. The pre-solicitation notice emphasizes that this is an informational document and does not guarantee a solicitation or contract award, and companies will not be reimbursed for preparing responses. Respondents will not receive notification about the results of the government's capability assessment, and the government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the requirement.
