4730 FLANGE SUB-ASSEMBLY

This contract, awarded on May 8, 2026, under solicitation N0040626Q0121, is a total small business set-aside for the procurement of two distinct Flange Sub-Assembly prototypes, with a total value of $42,409.00, awarded on a brand-name basis under FAR Part 12 as a commercial item acquisition. The contracting activity is the NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound, located in Bremerton, Washington, with Anna Rose Fulton serving as the primary point of contact. Deliveries are to be made FOB Origin, meaning title and risk of loss transfer to the Government at the shipping point, with transportation costs borne by the Government. The final acceptance location is identified as SRF and JRMC Yokosuka, Japan, where the Government will conduct inspection and acceptance upon receipt. The contract mandates compliance with ASTM-D-3951 for all packaging, preservation, and labeling requirements, specifically prohibiting certain materials like loose fill polystyrene and requiring heat-treated non-manufactured wood, while marking must include NSN or part number, contract number, quantity, and origin/destination information without requiring barcoding unless otherwise specified. The contract employs a trade-off evaluation approach, considering technical acceptability, price, past performance, and delivery without assigning numerical weights or specified order of importance, indicating that all factors are balanced holistically rather than through a lowest price technically acceptable process. Payment is exclusively conducted through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system, requiring electronic submission of invoices and receiving reports, and the contractor must maintain current SAM registration in compliance with FAR 52.204-7 and 52.204-13, which includes a deviation for the 2026-00038 amendment. Security and compliance are governed by multiple DFARS clauses, including mandatory adherence to NIST SP 800-171 for safeguarding covered defense information and reporting cyber incidents, prohibition on sourcing covered telecommunications equipment under NDAA Section 889, and restrictions on internal confidentiality agreements that could impede whistleblower reporting. The contractor must also provide accurate UEI and CAGE codes and affirm its small business status, as this contract is reserved entirely for small businesses under FAR 19.5, with no option quantities or extended performance periods specified. All packaging and marking must support multimodal transport and withstand handling by forklifts and cranes
