The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Navy through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mechanical, is soliciting proposals for the procurement of back seal assemblies. These assemblies are critical components used in shipboard systems, where the use of incorrect or defective materials could lead to severe consequences, including personnel injury or loss of vital shipboard systems. The contract will require adherence to stringent quality assurance and inspection protocols, as the materials are classified as Special Emphasis material, necessitating special control procedures to ensure compliance with specifications. Interested vendors should contact Benjamin Spangler at 717-605-2147 or via email at BENJAMIN.SPANGLER@NAVY.MIL for further details, with proposals due by the specified closing date.
