Spring Assembly

This solicitation, numbered 70Z03826QJ0000319, is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items issued under FAR Subpart 12.201 as a Request for Quotation, with a response deadline extended to August 10, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT. The requirement is for ten spring assemblies identified by National Stock Number 5340-01-208-1870 and Part Number 70219-02114-044, with a requested delivery date of October 20, 2026. The contract is 100% set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 336413, with a size standard of 1,250 employees, and only certified small business concerns are eligible to respond. All parts must be new and approved, with no drawings, specifications, or schematics provided by the agency; instead, offerors must rely on their own technical knowledge and compliance with applicable standards. A Certificate of Conformance per FAR 52.246-15 is mandatory and must include the NSN, part number, serial number, and purchase order details. Packaging must prevent damage during transport and storage; prohibited materials include popcorn, shredded paper, Styrofoam, and peanut packaging. Each item must be individually packed, and containers must be clearly marked with required identifying information both inside and outside, supporting full traceability throughout the supply chain. Delivery is FOB destination to the USCG Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, where government personnel will inspect and accept the items based on conformance, condition, and count only. The evaluation process emphasizes technical acceptability as the most critical factor, requiring submission of the manufacturer’s CAGE code, certification of new approved parts, and a compliant Certificate of Conformance. Delivery confidence is assessed based on lead time after award—high confidence if within 60 days, satisfactory between 61 and 90 days, and low confidence beyond 90 days. Price is evaluated for fairness and reasonableness, but the government will use a trade-off approach, favoring the most advantageous proposal when combining technical and delivery performance over lowest cost alone. Offerors must provide their Unique Entity Identifier and comply with safeguarding requirements under FAR clauses including 52.240-93 and 52
