ACOUSTIC INSULATION

The U.S. Navy’s Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound is seeking acoustic insulation products under a brand name requirement exclusively for Claremont Sales Corporation or its authorized distributors, due to proprietary manufacturing specifications. The acquisition, identified by solicitation number N0040626Q0230, is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 314999, open only to small businesses including HUBZone and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. The requirement covers two specific configurations of acoustic insulation: 2-inch and 1-inch thick panels measuring 2 ft by 3 ft, both manufactured with Solimide TA-301 polyimide foam at 0.4 pcf density and reinforced polyester film facing per MIL-DTL-32585, with a white finish and designated part numbers N6275860457416 and N6275860457417 respectively. The offeror must comply with strict technical standards outlined in MIL-DTL-24688 and MIL-DTL-32585, and items must be uniquely identified per MIL-STD-130 and labeled per MIL-STD-129, with machine-readable UID data reported upon delivery. Packaging and marking must adhere to ASTM-D-3951, prohibiting asbestos, excelsior, loose fill polystyrene, newspaper, and shredded paper, while wood packing materials must be heat-treated to 56°C for 30 minutes and certified by an ALSC-accredited agency. Deliveries for both line items totaling 1,292 sheets are due by June 30, 2026, to the SRF and JRMC Yokosuka facility in Japan with FOB origin terms, meaning the Government will arrange and pay for transportation through NAVSUP WSS Shipment Processing.

All proposals must be submitted by June 8, 2026, and offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management with an active CAGE code. Invoicing and receiving reports must be processed through WAWF, and contractors must comply with numerous FAR and DFARS clauses including 52.212-4, 52.20
