Manufacture of Sealed Plain Encased Components

The contract calls for the manufacture of sealed plain encased mechanical seal components that meet strict military specifications for form, fit, and function, specifically designed for use in defense and aerospace systems where environmental protection is critical. These components must ensure reliable performance under demanding operational conditions, safeguarding sensitive equipment from contaminants, moisture, pressure variations, and extreme temperatures. Production must align with exacting quality standards and process controls typical of military-grade hardware, with an emphasis on durability, consistency, and traceability across all manufacturing stages. The work is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 332996, indicating specialized fabrication of other metal products, and the place of performance is designated as Tracy, California, with the required delivery and inspection to be completed at the specified location. Responses to the solicitation are due by August 10, 2026, and the opportunity was posted on July 30, 2026, under the purview of the Department of Defense, specifically managed by Land Supplier Operations Vehicle Support. While no set aside type is indicated, the nature of the requirement suggests eligibility for qualified small businesses or specialized manufacturers with proven capability in defense-related sealing technology. Contractors must ensure full compliance with all applicable military and technical standards without reliance on external documentation, as failure to meet form, fit, or function parameters could result in rejection. The procurement is administered through the DIBBS system, and all proposals must include detailed evidence of process control, material sourcing, inspection protocols, and readiness to meet the contract timeline and quality assurance expectations.
