SCREW CAP HX HD

The solicitation issued by the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound (NAVSUP FLCPS) seeks firm-fixed-price proposals for the procurement of screw cap hex head fasteners under solicitation number N0040626QS178-3274. The acquisition is a small business set-aside and is scheduled to be posted on February 23, 2026, with proposals due by March 12, 2026. The requirement encompasses multiple line items of screw cap hex head screws conforming to military specifications (notably MIL-DTL-1222 and material grades such as K-MONEL) for delivery to the U.S. Naval Base Yokosuka, Japan, under FOB origin terms. All deliveries and inspections will occur at the destination in Japan, where government representatives will accept items only upon verification of compliance with contract requirements. The contract employs commercial acquisition and simplified procedures outlined in FAR Part 12, emphasizing full acceptance of solicitation terms and rejecting partial bids. Offerors must submit proposals electronically via SAM.gov, monitor amendment postings regularly, and direct all inquiries to the contracting official, Haley Austin, via the provided email. The solicitation mandates strict adherence to packaging, marking, and Unique Item Identification (UID) standards consistent with ASTM-D-3951, MIL-STD-130, and MIL-STD-129 to ensure secure and verifiable deliveries. Packaging must avoid prohibited materials like asbestos and loose fill polystyrene and comply with heat treatment and certification standards for wood packaging. UID marking is required for high-value or serially managed items using machine-readable 2D Data Matrix codes. Invoice submission is restricted to electronic methods through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system. The government evaluation of offers will be based on a best-value trade-off approach considering technical delivery commitments, price, and past performance, without numerical weighting or a lowest-price-technical-acceptable methodology. The contract incorporates numerous FAR clauses, many with agency-specific deviations, addressing matters such as equal opportunity, trafficking in persons, cyber maturity certification (CMMC), and prohibition on forced labor, underscoring compliance requirements. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov with valid CAGE codes and submit certifications as part of their proposals, although no such documents are yet included. The contract underscores a single-award intent covering the entire requirement to a responsible small business capable of meeting the comprehensive technical, administrative, and regulatory demands specified.
