WGQ Technical Benches

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) is soliciting Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Technical Benches and associated equipment for the WGQ Calibration Lab at the Fleet Readiness Center Reserve Mid Atlantic Detachment McGuire, located at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey. This procurement, issued as a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation under solicitation number N68335-26-Q-1027, is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 337127 with a size standard of 500 employees, and will be awarded on a Firm-Fixed Price basis. The requirement encompasses the delivery and installation of 14 standard technical workbenches with ESD-safe countertops, adjustable riser shelves, task lighting, and power strips, along with freight and installation services, all of which must be supported by a minimum one-year manufacturer’s warranty from the date of shipment and include a warranty sticker affixed to each unit. The Statement of Work and CLIN structure have been revised multiple times in early 2026 to align with updated lab floor plans and clarify discrepancies between the documented number of workstations and their physical placement, ensuring accurate procurement and installation. The Period of Performance is set at 365 days following contract award, with inspection occurring at JBMDL, NJ and final acceptance at Lakehurst, NJ using the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system. Proposals must be submitted electronically through SAM.gov no later than 4:00 PM on May 8, 2026, and must be divided into two volumes: a Technical Volume devoid of any pricing information and a Price Volume that includes a fully completed CLIN structure Excel file. Evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, where offers must first be deemed technically acceptable by meeting all specified requirements, eligible under the small business set-aside, and have a satisfactory SPRS past performance rating (not Red), after which the lowest price among qualified offerors will be selected. The solicitation includes extensive FAR and DFARS clauses covering compliance areas such as cybersecurity (NIST SP 800-171, Basic Safeguarding of Information Systems), supply chain restrictions (Huawei semiconductors, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Maduro Regime prohibitions), ethical conduct, subcontracting, and export controls. Offerors must also comply with representations and certifications
