Wheel, guide

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure wheel guides, classified under PSC 5315 (Nails, Machine Keys, and Pins). This pre-solicitation notice indicates the agency's intent to solicit bids for these specialized components to support naval operations and maintenance activities. The procurement will be evaluated based on standard federal contracting criteria, though specific evaluation metrics and technical requirements will be detailed in the forthcoming solicitation. Interested contractors should monitor the Federal Procurement Data System for the official solicitation release, which is expected to follow this pre-solicitation announcement. The due date for proposals is January 19, 2026, providing potential bidders with approximately one month to prepare and submit their responses.

This contract opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to firms meeting the Small Business Administration's size standards for the relevant industry classification. The procurement requires delivery of 58 units of wheel guides (NSN 6X-5315-LWM050564, TDP VER 006) to two separate Naval facilities: the Strategic Weapons Facility Pacific Manpower in Silverdale, Washington, and the Trident Refit Facility in Kings Bay, Georgia. While no specific budget range or award value is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the dual delivery locations suggest this is a support requirement for critical naval submarine operations and maintenance activities. The specific technical data package version and national stock number indicate this is a replacement or replenishment procurement with established specifications. Small businesses interested in competing should prepare to demonstrate their capability to meet the technical requirements and delivery schedules for these specialized naval components.
