The U.S. Navy is issuing a solicitation for specialized cable assemblies required for propulsion and power systems in its naval vessels. These assemblies, which are subject to rigorous testing standards, are essential to the Navy's operations.
The work scope involves the fabrication and delivery of two distinct types of assemblies, namely OHIO and COLUMBIA. The OHIO variant consists of eight conductor elements, while the COLUMBIA variant has nine. Each type has specific requirements and length variations, including prototype and production units. The prototypes are required to be 10' and 1,500' long for OHIO, and 10' and 1,350' for COLUMBIA.
The selected contractor will be responsible for developing precise manufacturing and testing plans, with a focus on quality assurance. They must also carry out first article testing before entering the production phase. Key deliverables include the cable assemblies, along with detailed testing and quality assurance documentation. The Navy anticipates ordering a minimum of 10 assemblies, with a potential maximum of 65 over a three-year period.
Applicants for this firm-fixed-price contract should possess the capabilities to meet the technical requirements and will be evaluated based on their expertise and pricing. The submission deadline is August 9th, 2024, and the Navy aims to award the contract by July 10th, 2024.
