VESSEL EXTERIOR WEATHER TIGHT DOORS

The Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration is seeking to purchase weather tight exterior doors for the Training Ship the State of Michigan. These doors must be constructed of aluminum with solid panel design, featuring core material made of hardback foam for soundproofing. Each door will include matching mild steel weld-in frames with mitered corners, adjustable gaskets, and will be prepped for painting. Additional hardware specifications include stainless steel dogs with cam followers, stainless steel butt hinges, locksets with quick-acting lever handles and deadbolt locks, and clamp-grip windows with clear tempered reinforced glass. Doors will also be equipped with bumpers and installation hooks to match the construction standards. The solicitation, numbered DTMA4Q10031, was planned for issuance around April 23, 2010, with quotes due by May 7, 2010. This procurement is not set aside for small businesses under the referenced NAICS code 33232, but small businesses capable of performing the work were encouraged to contact the contracting officer, Ms. Patricia Etridge, before April 22, 2010, for additional information. The completed doors are to be delivered directly to the vessel located in Traverse City, Michigan. The office handling the contract is based in Oakland, California.
