Quick Summary

The Department of the Navy, specifically NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mechanicsburg, is soliciting bids for Cable Assembly, Switch (PSC 6150). This opportunity involves the procurement of crucial shipboard system components designated as Special Emphasis Material (Level I). An amendment has extended the offer receipt deadline and dissolved the initial Small Business Set-Aside, making this an unrestricted competition.

Scope of Work

The contract requires the manufacture of Switch Cable Assemblies in accordance with NAVSEA drawing 5486638, including specific non-metallic material requirements for toxicity and flammability (NAVSEA SS800-AG-MAN-010/P-9290). Key processes include Non-Conductive Coating (NCC) plasma spray treatment and wiring/molding by approved vendors listed in ECDS. Quality conformance tests per MIL-DTL-24231, including hydrostatic, insulation resistance, and dielectric tests, are mandatory. A First Article Test (FAT) on one complete cable assembly is required, with specific testing parameters.

Quality Assurance & Traceability

Contractors must maintain a quality system in accordance with ISO-9001 (or MIL-I-45208) and calibration system requirements per ISO-10012 or ANSI-Z540.3 with ISO-17025 (or MIL-STD-45662). Government Quality Assurance (GQA) at the source is required, necessitating coordination with DCMA. Strict material traceability is essential, with markings applied per MIL-STD-792 and maintained through all manufacturing and subcontracted operations. Final inspection includes material sampling per ANSI/ASQ-Z1.4 and 100% inspection of Objective Quality Evidence (OQE) and certification test reports. A Certificate of Compliance (Special Emphasis C of C) is required, detailing traceability, NSN, serial number, and compliance statements.

No material is to be shipped before acceptance.
