Mooring Line & Thimbles

This federal Request for Quote (RFQ), solicitation number N6471026Q00200001, is issued by the Strategic Weapons Facility Pacific (SWFPAC) of the U.S. Navy. The procurement is set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 314994. It seeks a contractor to furnish and deliver commercial-grade mooring lines and thimbles to support safe submarine mooring operations at Naval Base Kitsap (NBK) Bangor in Silverdale, Washington. The requirement consists of two contract line items (CLINs) under a firm-fixed-price arrangement: - CLIN 0001: 1,200 feet of synthetic fiber mooring line (specifically AmSteel-Blue, 1-1/4 inch diameter, 12-strand single braid) on one continuous spool. Offers must include the manufacturer's Certificate of Compliance to be considered responsive. - CLIN 0002: 12 compatible stainless-steel synthetic-rope thimbles (Blue Line Product Code 930) designed for 1-1/4 inch rope. Quotes are due by September 11, 2026, at 5:00 PM Local Time, and must be submitted via email to the designated Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist. All supplies must be delivered in full to NBK Bangor no later than November 30, 2026. Because base access is strictly regulated, the contractor is responsible for ensuring delivery drivers can secure access; failure to do so resulting in missed delivery deadlines will lead to contract termination. Award will be made on a single-award, all-or-none basis. Evaluation will weigh technical capability, price, and past performance with equal importance.
