SPECIAL NOTICE – Hydraulic Cylinders

The U.S. Navy’s Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, has awarded contract N0017826P6400 to AFP Industries, Inc. for the delivery of one hydraulic cylinder intended for experimental testing of a hydraulic power unit, under the authority of 10 USC 4023, which permits procurement for developmental and test purposes to advance national defense capabilities. The award was issued on June 12, 2026, and the item falls under FSC/PSC 3040 and NAICS code 333995. Although a special notice was published with a proposed issuance date of July 1, 2026, and a closing date of July 8, 2026, no proposals were solicited or accepted—this notice served only as informational transparency, with the award already finalized prior to the notice’s public release. The contract was executed without set-aside classification, indicating open competition was not required due to its experimental nature. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Arline Parker, reachable via phone or email through the Dahlgren, Virginia office.
