Nonmetallic Fabricated Materials

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is in the process of drafting a new specification, MIL-PRF-XX398, for Static Automatic Bus Transfer Switches (SABT) intended for use on both surface and submarine naval vessels. This draft aims to establish standards that support various design approaches and manufacturing processes, thereby fostering a diverse vendor base. The draft document is available for public review and comment on the NAVSEA specifications and standards webpage, promoting transparency and industry participation prior to finalization. Although the announcement is posted on multiple government platforms, including the Federal Business Opportunities page and the Navy Electronic Commerce Online site as alternative access points, it is important to note that this notice is not a solicitation. The related contract data references nonmetallic fabricated materials with a solicitation number but lacks specific details such as type of set-aside, NAICS code, or agency information, suggesting that the focus is on preliminary development rather than immediate procurement. Interested parties are encouraged to review the draft and contribute feedback to ensure broad engagement in shaping the final requirements.
