This solicitation, numbered N0010425RK068, issued by the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, seeks competitive, full and open bids for the procurement of seawater-activated batteries and associated technical data, with a base quantity of 263 units and an option for an additional 133 units, classified as a Critical Safety Item due to potential catastrophic failure risks. The contract requires strict adherence to military packaging and marking standards, including MIL-STD-2073-1 for packaging, MIL-STD-129 for shipment labeling, and MIL-STD-130 for item-level identification using Unique Item Identifiers with Data Matrix barcodes formatted per ISO/IEC 15434. Performance must comply with NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC cybersecurity requirements, and contractors must implement quality systems aligned with ISO-9001:2015. Inspections and acceptance are conducted by the Government at the contractor’s facility for most line items, with sampling based on MIL-STD-105 or MIL-STD-1916, Inspection Level II, and 100% inspection mandated for critical characteristics. Delivery is anticipated for NUWC Division Keyport, with a 240-day delivery schedule from the award date for key line items, governed by F.o.b. Destination terms. The evaluation will follow a best value trade-off approach, prioritizing past performance—specifically quality, timeliness, and small business utilization—over price, with a minimum “limited confidence” rating required in past performance to be eligible for award. Subcontracting plans compliant with DoD requirements must be submitted, and cybersecurity controls must be flowed down to all subcontractors. Offerors are required to provide UEI and CAGE codes, represent their small business status, and submit proposals in five electronically delivered volumes organized by evaluation factor, using Word, Excel, or PDF formats with no hard copies accepted. Payment must be processed through WAWF, and all contractors must comply with federal prohibitions on gratuities, kickbacks, contingent fees, and prohibited vendors such as Kaspersky Lab. A safety survey is mandatory, and equitable adjustments may be permitted for changes in security requirements or contract scope.
