Rotary Forge Preform - Watervliet Arsenal

The contract solicitation W911PT26RA004 issued by the Department of Defense through Watervliet Arsenal in New York seeks the procurement of 205 Rotary Forge Preforms per Drawing #11579755, Revision A, for use in the 155mm M284 Cannon, with delivery required FOB Destination and performance based at Watervliet, New York. The delivery schedule varies by CLIN, with quantities ranging from 2 to 105 units due within 60 to 150 calendar days from the date of award, and an option exists for up to 41 additional units under CLIN 0005, exercisable within 120 or 180 days after the last delivery. The contract is set to a Firm Fixed Price arrangement with a total award projected for one contractor who meets all material requirements, technical compliance with the specified drawing, and responsibility criteria per FAR 9.104, with award based solely on the lowest evaluated offer. Participation requires strict adherence to SAM registration with active representations and certifications, and mandatory active Joint Certification Program (JCP) status to access technical drawings via the SAM website, with no exceptions or phone inquiries permitted. The offeror must fully comply with detailed packaging and marking specifications per MIL-STD-130 and MIL-STD-129, including machine-readable Unique Item Identification (UID), proper labeling, and documentation of contract and NSN information on all shipping and delivery paperwork. All items are subject to inspection at both the destination and Watervliet Arsenal, with failure to meet quality standards triggering rejection for latent material defects at the contractor’s expense, and the contractor is required to conform to QAP-APPENDIX-WVA and any item-specific quality assurance protocols, including flowdown of higher-level standards to subcontracts. Subcontracting of casting or forging operations requires prior disclosure and contracting officer approval, and no subcontractor issues, raw material shortages, or scheduling conflicts will be accepted as justification for delivery delays—on-time performance is deemed very critical and noncompliance may result in order termination. The contractor must use the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system for all invoicing and receiving reports with specific document types prescribed for fixed-price and cost-type line items, and payment requests must align with DFARS and FAR requirements.
