    The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation for Techthane T-12, a liquid polymer essential for their projects. This Request for Quotation (RFQ) is specifically concerned with a firm fixed price (FFP) procurement under simplified acquisition procedures, planned as a sole-source award. The RFQ outlines the need for 5 gallons of Techthane Part B and 5 gallons of Techthane Part A, each from SII, Inc. Delivery to the NSWCCD is scheduled for January 6, 2025, with shipping terms as FOB Destination. Quoters must adhere to the guidelines set forth in the solicitation, including submission requirements, and will be evaluated based on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis. All quotations must demonstrate technical capabilities while complying with specified standards. Questions regarding the requirements are directed to Brittany Tavassoli, with a submission deadline of September 10, 2024. This solicitation reflects the agency's intent to streamline the procurement process while ensuring compliance with applicable federal regulations and policies.
    The document outlines a justification for using other than full and open competition for procuring Techthane T-12, a proprietary formulation necessary for the Virginia Class submarines, produced solely by SII, Inc. This justification references the established proprietary rights and limited production of Techthane T-12, as SII, Inc. only manufactures it under specific orders, with production occurring infrequently due to the need to prioritize another product. The document includes sections for certifications and approvals required under federal regulations, including confirmations of the accuracy of the justification and the authority to approve the procurement process. This streamlined decision underscores the need to secure specialized materials critical for specific military applications while adhering to mandated procurement protocols.
