TILE
This opportunity is for the procurement of 40 specialized TILE units (NSN: 1HM 2090 015856243) for the U.S. Navy, requiring engineering source approval and a valid U.S. security clearance of classified or higher to access confidential annex information. The material is extremely urgent due to unusual and compelling urgency, and the contract will be awarded bilaterally with firm fixed pricing. Performance requires compliance with MIL-I-45208 inspection standards, and the item must be mercury-free for use on submarines/surface ships. The approved sources are currently limited to Marine Polymers Inc. and Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, with qualification for new suppliers being extensive and time-consuming. The location for performance is not specified, but the design control activity is the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division.
