The wire must meet highly specific technical specifications including a blue coating, melt index of 2.0, density of 0.922, vicat softening point of 100.0, blown film gauge of 2.0 mil with a 2:1 BUR, and notched Elmendorf tear ratings of 200 MD/470 TD, among other requirements including tensile strength, elongation, and WVTR specifications. The material must be delivered on 500-foot spools and must comply with numerous FAR and DFARS clauses addressing Buy American provisions, equal opportunity regulations, and cybersecurity obligations. The solicitation follows a presolicitation notice and incorporates standards evaluation criteria based on technical compliance with the specifications outlined. The offer due date is April 13, 2026, at 2:00 PM local time, establishing a very tight four-day response window for interested contractors.

This solicitation is set aside exclusively for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns under NAICS code 332618 (Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 500 employees. Delivery is required within two weeks from the date of award to Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Building 276, Portsmouth, Virginia 23709. All materials exceeding 40 pounds must be palletized and properly labeled with contract numbers, and invoicing should be submitted to NNSY Accounts Payable with payment through DoDAAC N50082. While a specific award value is not disclosed in the solicitation notice, the requirement for 300 boxes of specialty wire indicates a moderate-value contract typical of DLA Maritime supply operations. No incumbent contractor information is provided in the available documentation.
