Mechanical Fabrication

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport is conducting a market research effort through a Request for Information to identify qualified small businesses capable of providing mechanical fabrication services for government-provided drawings under a potential Firm Fixed Price Multiple-Award Blank Purchase Agreement. This effort is a direct follow-on to BPA N6660421AJ101-106 and falls under NAICS code 332710, with a small business size standard of 500 employees, and is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside. Respondents must demonstrate the ability to fabricate, produce, assemble, test, package, and deliver hardware with full compliance to government specifications, including adherence to MIL-STD-2073-1D for packaging and the requirement to submit a DD Form 250, Certificate of Compliance, Quality Assurance Test Report, and Government Property Inventory Report with each delivery. All work must be performed at the contractor’s site and must conform to Technical Data Package requirements, with quality assurance testing conducted using the contractor’s current standard procedures. Contractors are required to comply with a robust set of federal and Department of Defense regulations, including DFARS 252.245-7005 for Government Property management via the PIEE GFP Module, 32 CFR Part 117 (NISPOM), DoD Instruction 5200.48 for Controlled Unclassified Information handling, and DoDI 5230.24 for distribution statements. Cybersecurity is a critical component, mandating disclosure of the current CMMC certification level, UID for systems handling CUI or FCI, and any plans for achieving or upgrading certification. An Operations Security program must be established and maintained, covering personnel training, vulnerability assessments, and flow-down requirements to subcontractors. Responses must be submitted as a brief capabilities statement, not exceeding five pages, single-spaced in 12-point font, and include company details, ownership status, CAGE and DUNS numbers, facility descriptions, equipment capabilities, and cybersecurity posture. The response deadline is June 3, 2026, with all submissions sent via email to the designated point of contact; no extensions will be granted, and late responses will be excluded from consideration.
