The Department of Defense, through the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, is inviting qualified vendors to participate in its BOA Fastener Program, which focuses on the manufacturing of critical fasteners. Vendors must adhere to stringent quality assurance and material control standards, as outlined in specifications such as Electric Boat Specification 688-1864K and various military standards. These fasteners are essential for the operational readiness of the U.S. Navy, and vendors must demonstrate their ability to maintain traceability of materials throughout the manufacturing process. Interested parties should contact Victoria MacLellan at victoria.b.maclellan.civ@us.navy.mil or call (207) 451-0941 for further details, as this opportunity is set aside for small businesses under SBA guidelines.
