CPLS MANIFOLDS

The contract for CPLS Manifolds, solicited under SPMYM126Q4101, is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, restricted to small business concerns and governed by NAICS code 333912. The procurement seeks fifteen portable dry air layup manifolds for the Continuous Purge Layup System, designed to prevent corrosion during maintenance on CVN-class vessels. Each manifold must be a self-contained, portable unit enclosed in a Pelican or equivalent case, with 3/4-inch piping rated for at least 150 psi, featuring specific valve and gauge components including Ashcroft 1006 series pressure gages and RCM Industries flowmeters. Critical technical constraints prohibit brazing or soldering in construction, ban materials containing halogens or sulfur except polytetrafluoroethylene, and require adherence to STR-4P37 and STR-4P38 cleanliness standards. All units must be delivered to Norfolk Naval Shipyard no later than October 28, 2026, under FOB Destination terms, accompanied by as-built drawings in .dwg format, comprehensive documentation packages, and a certificate of compliance signed by a quality assurance official. The contract mandates full compliance with MIL-STD-129 for shipping marks, Hazard Communication Standard labeling for hazardous materials, and submission of material safety data sheets prior to award. Evaluation will follow the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, with technical capability serving as a mandatory pass/fail gate; failure to meet any specification disqualifies the offer. Price, delivery, and past performance via SPRS and Federal Awardee Performance records are weighed, but technical capability and price together carry substantially greater weight than other factors. Vendors must submit an unpriced capabilities statement detailing lead times, manufacturer and country of origin, and full supply lists, alongside pricing in a separate document. Proposals must be submitted via email by 4 p.m. EST on June 16, 2026, and remain valid for at least thirty days. Payment will be processed exclusively through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF), requiring vendors to maintain active SAM registration with accurate CAGE and company data matching WAWF records. The contract incorporates multiple FAR clauses including 52.203-6 with Alternate I, 52.222-50 with Alternate I, and 52.247
