Quick Summary
The Navy Supply Fleet Logistics San Diego (NAVSUP FLCSD) intends to award a sole-source, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract to Chestnut Ridge Foam Inc. for 352 CR SAFGUARD XL Mattresses. This procurement is for specialized marine-grade mattresses for installation aboard the USS Paul Hamilton (DDG-60) as part of a shipboard sleep study. This is not a request for competitive proposals.
Scope of Work
This opportunity involves the procurement of 352 specialized, marine-grade mattresses. Specifically, the requirement is for the CR SAFGUARD XL (Soft) Dual-Firmness mattress, manufactured exclusively by Chestnut Ridge Foam, Inc. These mattresses must meet Navy Standards and MIL-STD-1623E for fire resistance, ensuring they form a stable char and do not become a fuel source. The "Dual-Firmness XL (Soft)" variant utilizes a proprietary pin-cored structure for pressure relief while maintaining structural integrity and fire resistance. Substitutes are not acceptable due to life-safety concerns regarding smoke toxicity and fire propagation.
