Precision CNC Machining & Metal Fabrication

The contract requires the manufacture of two prototype and six production units using marine-grade materials, with emphasis on precision CNC milling and TIG welding to meet strict dimensional tolerances and surface finish requirements suitable for a five-year marine service life. All components must be fabricated to endure harsh saltwater conditions, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and consistent performance in offshore environments. The work demands rigorous quality control at every stage to uphold structural integrity and functional reliability under continuous marine exposure. This is a small business set-aside opportunity under NAICS code 332721, reserved exclusively for small businesses as defined by the SBA, and is issued as a subcontract by the Department of Commerce, NOAA. Responses must be submitted by July 22, 2026, with no solicitation number provided. Though the place of performance and point of contact details are unspecified, the work must be executed in compliance with federal subcontracting regulations and marine engineering standards. The project’s success hinges on adherence to material specifications, dimensional accuracy, and finish quality to ensure long-term operational viability in marine applications.
