Contract Opportunity

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE ISSUED.

This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6-Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

The Request for Quote (RFQ) Number is N66604-25-Q-0035. This requirement is being solicited on an unrestricted basis. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this acquisition is 334417; the Small Business Size Standard is 1,000 employees.

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) purchase order for the below Brantner and Associates Inc. SEACON brand name items, no substitutions allowed. The Government’s original system design uses SEACON’s mateable and unique parts which are the only connectors that physically fit (directly mate) to the existing Government system and cabling. A full qualification of the design would be necessary in order for another model and vendor to manufacture the connectors. This would include multiple system design reviews and first article testing for each system that the connectors are utilized on, which would result in significant duplicative cost and schedule impacts to qualify a new vendor.

The Government’s minimum requirements are specified as follows.

(b) Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror, results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day award is dated. Therefore, the offeror should compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the Contractor’s date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding (1) five calendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails, or (2) one working day if the solicitation states that the contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. (The term "working day" excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.) If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required delivery date, the offer will be considered nonresponsive and rejected.

(End of clause)

52.217-7 Option for Increased Quantity-Separately Priced Line Item.

The Government may require the delivery of the numbered line item, identified in the Schedule as an option item, in the quantity and at the price stated in the Schedule. The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor within 6 months of date of contract award. Delivery of added items shall continue at the same rate that like items are called for under the contract, unless the parties otherwise agree.

(End of clause)

The basis of award will be Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA). In order to be considered technically acceptable, offerors must: (1) propose Brantner and Associates Inc. SEACON brand name items, no substitutions, in the required quantities; (2) Offerors shall provide proof that the items are shipped from the US; (3) Offerors shall provide documented proof of authorized reseller status;

Additionally, the Government will consider past performance information within the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) whereby negative information may render a quote being deemed technically unacceptable.

The method of payment is via Electronic Payment through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF). In accordance with DFARS Clause 252.211-7003, the contractor shall provide a unique item identifier (UID) for all delivered items for which the Government’s unit acquisition cost is $5,000.00 or more.

This solicitation requires registration with the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award, pursuant to applicable regulations and guidelines. Registration information can be found at www.sam.gov
