The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Navy through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mechanicsburg, is soliciting proposals for the procurement of specialized cable assemblies. The contract requires manufacturers to adhere to strict quality and inspection standards, including ISO 9001 compliance, and to ensure that the materials supplied are free from mercury contamination, as these assemblies are intended for use on submarines and surface ships. This procurement is critical for maintaining the operational integrity of naval communication systems, and interested vendors must submit their proposals, including pricing valid for 60 days post-quotation, to the primary contact, Jordan D. Neely, via email at JORDAN.D.NEELY2.CIV@US.NAVY.MIL. The solicitation emphasizes a total small business set-aside, encouraging participation from small enterprises in the defense contracting space.
