LASER CUTTER AND ENGRAVER

The U.S. Navy’s Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division, is seeking to procure a laser engraver and laser cutter under a total small business set-aside solicitation numbered N00174-26-SIMACQ-W12-0004, with responses due by August 17, 2026. This requirement is strictly for brand-specific equipment—specifically the Boss FM D Desktop fiber laser engraver with a 50W Universal Fiber Source and associated components—as defined in the statement of work to support the NISE FY26 CBRD lab revitalization initiative. The procurement will be evaluated using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with all quotes required to be all-inclusive and valid for 30 days, including full shipping costs directly to the delivery location at Indian Head, Maryland under FOB Destination terms. Vendors must provide their CAGE code, point of contact, phone number, and confirm compliance with mandatory federal systems: they must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), use Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) for invoicing and payment, and comply with all representation and certification requirements including small business size status and the prohibition on using PCARD as a payment method. All delivered equipment must comply with stringent military standards for identification and marking, specifically MIL-STD-130 for unique item identification using a two-dimensional Data Matrix barcode encoded with Format Indicators 05, 06, or 12, and MIL-STD-129 for shipment and storage labeling. The equipment must be delivered within 60 days of contract award, no later than September 30, 2026, and include a two-year warranty. The government will inspect and accept the items at the delivery site, verifying proper marking and documentation in accordance with DFARS Appendix F. Contractors must also comply with cybersecurity requirements under DFARS 252.204-7025, aligning with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 1 or higher, and maintain compliance with a range of FAR and DFARS clauses covering labor standards, equal opportunity, trafficking in persons, and security prohibitions. The contract is a firm-fixed-price agreement, and award will be made to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer that meets all mandatory specifications, with payment administered exclusively through WAWF and coordinated with the designated Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer’s Representative.
