This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and quotes are being requested. Request for Quotation (RFQ) number is N6660426Q0306. Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to purchase the following parts on a sole source basis to Elantas North America, LLC. Elantas, previously Cytec, is the original manufacturer of the required cushioning pads. The interface cushioning pads have not changed from its original design, therefore additional certifications and testing will not be required. The process of vetting another vendor to manufacture and test the cushioning pads would be a time-consuming and expensive undertaking that would exceed the critical delivery time required for the fabrication of these parts and result in an unacceptable delay in the Fleet delivery. This requirement is being solicited as unrestricted as concurred with by NUWCDIVNPT s Director of the Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP) . The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 325211. The Small Business Size is 1,250 employees. The Product Supply Code (PSC) is 1450.
