Quick Summary
The NAVSUP Weapons Systems Support (WSS) Nuclear Reactor Supply Chain Management Directorate is conducting market research via a Special Notice (Request for Information - RFI) to identify small businesses capable of providing Federal Supply Class (FSC) 5340 Hardware for the Navy's nuclear reactors. The government intends to establish Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with multiple suppliers. Responses are due July 8, 2026, by 5:00 PM EDT.
Scope of Work
This RFI seeks information on capabilities to supply various competitively procured hardware used in the secondary system of nuclear reactors. Historically, the Directorate anticipates issuing approximately 478 delivery orders totaling $6.5 million over the next five years. Individual purchases under the anticipated BPAs will not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold of $350,000.
Specific examples of hardware include a RETAINER ASSEMBLY (NSN 1H 5340-01-707-4136 PP) and a BUMPER (NSN 1H 5340-01-295-2569 X3). These items require stringent technical specifications, material requirements (e.g., NEOPRENE, cleanliness per STR-4P37, no mercury contamination), quality assurance (e.g., ISO 9001/9002/9003, MIL-I-45208), and specific preparation for delivery, including marking and shelf-life stipulations.
