Borescope visual inspection equipment

This solicitation, N0010426QX054, issued by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mech under the Department of Defense, is a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside for the procurement of IPLEX GX borescope visual inspection equipment and associated optical tip adapter models to fulfill urgent requirements for two U.S. Navy ships, LCS 31 Cleveland and LCS 29 Beloit. The contract requires firm fixed pricing for six line items, with CLINs 0001 and 0004 designated as bundled combinations of base and scope units that must be quoted as a single price. All equipment must be new, with no remanufactured or gray market items permitted, and must conform to strict military technical specifications including MIL-STD-129 for shipping labels, MIL-STD-130 for item identification, and MIL-SPEC packaging standards, correcting an earlier error in the solicitation that misstated commercial packaging as acceptable. Delivery is mandated within 90 calendar days from the date of award to designated DoDAACs—N20260 for LCS 31 and N20173 for LCS 29—with F.O.B. Destination terms applying to ensure cost responsibility rests with the contractor until delivery. Evaluation for award will be based on price, delivery timeliness, past performance, and supplier risk, with the government emphasizing best value over the lowest cost. Offers must be submitted via email by the deadline of January 29, 2026, and must include valid SAM registration, active NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity assessment scores, and certifications covering commercial product status, buy American compliance, foreign ownership disclosure, and counterfeit component avoidance. All proposals must comply with clauses addressing whistleblower rights, prompt payment, subcontracting restrictions, disputes, and unauthorized obligations, and contractors must use Wide Area WorkFlow for invoicing. The NAICS code 334519 governs small business size eligibility, and only entities certified in SAM as small businesses under this code may submit bids.
