Small Business Set-Aside for Tandemloc Brand Shock Isolators per attachments

This procurement is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, solicited under the Naval Surface Warfare Center’s Panama City Beach office with solicitation number N61331-26-Q-MS01, specifically for Tandemloc Brand Shock Isolators as detailed in attached specifications. Offers must be submitted via email on company letterhead by 11:00 a.m. Central Time on April 30, 2026, and must include the CAGE code and lead time; late, partial, or incomplete quotes will not be accepted. The contract requires invoicing through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system with NET 30 payment terms, and shipping must be itemized if not included in the unit price. Award will be made based on best value to the government, evaluating price, delivery, quality, and past performance in a trade-off process—not as a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) acquisition. The place of performance is the NSWC-PCD/NEDU facility in Panama City Beach, Florida, with deliveries restricted to weekdays between 0830 and 1500 local time, excluding federal holidays. All items must comply with Item Unique Identification requirements per 252.211-7003, and contractors must maintain an active CAGE code and comply with FAR requirements including commercial item provisions, cybersecurity safeguards, and restrictions on covered telecommunications and software from foreign entities such as Kaspersky Lab and ByteDance. Offerors must certify small business status per 52.219-1 and ensure compliance with reporting obligations for executive compensation, subcontract awards, and safeguarding covered defense information. No contract options, key personnel requirements, or security clearances are specified, and the estimated value is not disclosed; however, the acquisition is conducted under simplified procedures, suggesting a value under $250,000. Contractors must adhere to NAVSEA-specific provisions including an approval requirement for deliverables and a three-year non-compete for personnel with access to classified file room information, serving as an organizational conflict of interest mitigation measure.
