Marine-Grade Fasteners and Metal Components

The contract involves the supply of 316 stainless steel pins and hot-dip galvanized steel straps designed to meet stringent corrosion resistance standards, specifically for integration into marine rigging blocks aboard the Balclutha vessel. These components are critical for ensuring durability and performance in harsh saltwater environments, requiring materials and manufacturing processes that comply with industry benchmarks for long-term marine use. The procurement is structured as a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, exclusively available to small businesses as defined by the SBA, and falls under NAICS code 332420, which classifies it within the forged and stamped metal product manufacturing sector. Responses are due by August 10, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 27, 2026, and the contracting activity originates from the Department of the Interior under Pwr GOGA(86000). Though specific delivery timelines, quantities, or inspection protocols are not detailed here, the emphasis on marine-grade materials implies adherence to strict quality control and certification requirements. The place of performance and point of contact information are unspecified, but the nature of the work suggests fulfillment must align with the operational needs of the Balclutha vessel, likely requiring coordination with marine restoration or preservation efforts.
