Window wiper

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure window wipers through a brand name acquisition with Cornell-Carr Co., Inc., utilizing Federal Acquisition Regulation parts 12 and 13 for commercial and simplified acquisition procedures. This procurement falls under the Marine Hardware and Hull Items category and will be conducted as a brand name acquisition per FAR 6.302-1, though authorized small business distributors may express interest and capability to respond to determine whether competitive procurement will be conducted. The contracting officer requests that all questions be submitted via email to STORMY.A.CAUDILL.CIV@US.NAVY.MIL, as they are teleworking and will not have access to work phone or voicemail. The solicitation is anticipated to be posted to Beta.Sam.Gov on approximately August 4, 2025, with quotes due around August 11, 2025. Prospective offerors are responsible for downloading the solicitation documents and monitoring for amendments, and quotes should be submitted via email to the contracting officer.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, with Cornell-Carr Co., Inc. identified as the brand name contractor for this acquisition. The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price supply contract, though specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The procurement timeline is condensed, with only approximately one week between the anticipated solicitation posting date and the quote submission deadline of August 11, 2025. Small business distributors have until the offer due date to demonstrate their interest and capability, which the government will consider solely for determining whether to proceed with competitive procurement rather than the planned brand name acquisition. The final decision on whether to compete this requirement remains at the government's discretion based on responses received to this notice.
