This amendment, numbered 00001, serves to modify an existing solicitation, N3225324Q0071, by extending the closing date and adding specific requirements to the description of the desired goods. The closing date has been changed from July 30, 2024, to August 5, 2024. The description now includes detailed specifications for waterjet cutting services, with tolerances of +/- .040 on both the outside and inside diameters, and an emphasis on avoiding gauges and scratches, with best efforts applied to cosmetics. This amendment also incorporates FAR Clause 52.204-22, Alternative Line Proposal, allowing offerors to propose alternative items that differ from the brand-name or designated items specified in the solicitation. All other terms and conditions from the original solicitation remain unchanged. Offerors are required to acknowledge receipt of this amendment prior to the new closing date.
The U.S. Navy is seeking to procure 99 metal rings with specific dimensions and material requirements. The rings are to be made of 304L stainless steel, waterjet cut to a thickness of 2.500 inches, with an outer diameter of 16.000 inches and an inner diameter of 10.000 inches. The acceptable tolerance for both the outer and inner diameters is +/- 0.040 inches. The delivery date for these rings is October 1st, 2024, and they are to be delivered to the DLA Distribution Government Representative at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii.
The Navy intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract without discussions, so offerors are expected to submit their best terms regarding price and technical specifications. The evaluation criteria will prioritize the lowest price, followed by technical acceptability. The offer must meet the specified material and dimensional requirements, and the vendor must comply with all the terms and conditions of the solicitation.
The submission deadline for offers is July 30th, 2024, at 9:00 AM. The Navy encourages vendors to submit additional documentation, such as warranty information, technical data, and price breakdowns, along with the completed Standard Form 1449. The total award amount will be determined based on the unit price and total price of the metal rings.
