USS FRANK CABLE Bridge Window Parts

The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is seeking sources for bridge window parts for the USS FRANK CABLE through this pre-solicitation notice. The procurement falls under NAICS code 327215 for Glass Product Manufacturing Made of Purchased Glass and PSC code 9340 for Glass Fabricated Materials, indicating the government requires specialized glass components for the vessel's bridge windows. This sources sought notice was posted on July 2, 2025, with responses due by July 10, 2025, providing interested vendors with a brief eight-day window to submit their capabilities information. The attached Sources Sought Notice PDF contains detailed specifications and requirements that potential contractors must review to determine their ability to fulfill the contract requirements. The evaluation will likely focus on vendors' technical capabilities, past performance with similar naval vessel components, and ability to meet military specifications for maritime glass products.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations, making it available for competition among all qualified vendors regardless of size or socioeconomic status. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific award values, which is typical for sources sought notices that precede formal solicitations. No specific quantities of bridge window parts or delivery timelines are disclosed in the basic notice information, though these details would typically be included in the attached government file. The Military Sealift Command's approach suggests this is a preliminary market research effort to identify capable suppliers before issuing a formal Request for Proposals or Invitation for Bids. The specialized nature of naval bridge window components indicates this will likely be a niche procurement requiring vendors with specific expertise in marine-grade glass manufacturing and military specification compliance.
