    Description

    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.

    The U.S. Navy seeks non-personal services for fabricating and delivering specialized cable assemblies. These assemblies are crucial for propulsion and power systems in naval vessels. The main procurement objective involves two types of cable assemblies, namely OHIO and COLUMBIA, each with distinct requirements. The OHIO variant comprises eight conductor elements, while the COLUMBIA variant has nine. Both types must endure rigorous testing, including insulation continuity and hydrostatic integrity tests, to ensure they meet mechanical and electrical specifications. The cable assemblies are divided into prototype and production units. Prototypes are 10' and 1,500' for OHIO, and 10' and 1,350' for COLUMBIA, with production units tailored to specific length requirements. Fabrication must adhere to precise manufacturing and testing plans, with quality assurance a key focus. Contractors must develop these plans and undergo first article testing before production. Key deliverables include the cable assemblies themselves, along with associated testing and quality assurance documentation. The Navy requires a minimum of 10 assemblies, with a potential maximum of 65 over a three-year contract period. Delivery deadlines are set at six months after ordering. Contract details are not explicitly mentioned, but the solicitation indicates a firm-fixed-price structure with unit prices for each assembly. Important dates include a submission deadline of August 9th, 2024, and a desired award date of July 10th, 2024.
