The Contractor shall fabricate, customize, package, deliver, and perform on-site fitting checks for table covers, seat slipcovers, and bench cushions for the Wardroom, Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Mess, and Crews Mess of the USS Patrick Gallagher (DDG-127) in accordance with Attachment 1: Technical Specifications.

2.0 Location of Performance & Shipboard Delivery

Due to shipboard requirements, performance shall be executed in two sequential geographic phases:

• On-Site Measurements & Templating (Post-Award): The Contractor shall travel to the location of the ship to conduct physical measurements and construct precise templates of all messing tables and seating. The locations of the ship will be at Bath, ME or Norfolk, VA depending on the operational timeline. No fabrication shall occur until physical measurements are completed and final graphic designs are approved.
• Final Delivery & Check-Fitting: Final delivery, installation, and fit-testing shall be performed on-board the ship at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. The Contractor shall perform any necessary on-site tailoring or snug-fit adjustments.

3.0 Summary Technical Specifications (Governed by Attachment 1)

• Fabric Composition: Marine-grade, water-impermeable Naugahyde vinyl (Colors per Attachment 1).
• Fire Safety Standards: All fabrics must meet OPNAVINST 5100.19F afloat safety standards, NFPA 701, and FAR 25.853 flame-retardant standards. Flammability laboratory test sheets must be submitted for review.
• Border Text & Stitching: All table covers must have rounded corners with a sewn overhang drop. Drops must feature screen-printed or etching sublimated block letters governed by Attachment 1.
• Table Graphics: High-resolution full-color etching sublimation of the official Ship’s Crest centered on the tops. Screen prints, physical embroidery, stickers, or adhesive-backed decals are strictly prohibited on tabletop surfaces.

PART V: EVALUATION FOR AWARD (LPTA PROCESS)

The Government intends to award a single, Firm-Fixed-Price contract resulting from this combined synopsis/solicitation to the responsible offeror whose quote represents the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). Quotes will be evaluated against the following criteria:

• Technical Acceptability: Evaluated on a pass/fail basis. The Government will review the offeror's proposed material specification sheets, technical narratives, and regulatory flammability certifications to ensure they meet all requirements outlined in Attachment 1: Technical Specifications.
• Past Performance: Evaluated on a pass/fail basis. The Government will review past performance references to determine if the offeror has a record of successful performance on similar custom upholstery or canvas products.
