20 –Ship and Marine Equipment

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is in the process of drafting the MIL-STD-2197A standard, which focuses on brush electroplating techniques used on marine machinery. This effort aims to establish specifications and standards that support diverse design approaches and manufacturing processes while promoting a wide range of vendor participation. Interested parties are invited to review the draft document during a defined review period ending November 28, 2011, and can request copies by emailing [email hidden] with the document number in the subject line. Following the review, the final version will be available on the ASSIST Online platform. This initiative falls under the category of ship and marine equipment, identified by the NAICS code 332813. The draft standard serves as a guideline rather than a solicitation, emphasizing NAVSEA’s commitment to developing comprehensive, flexible industry standards. While the contract or draft does not specify a solicitation type or detailed set-aside information, it highlights NAVSEA's role in advancing marine system component quality and vendor inclusivity through this updated electroplating standard.
