## Description

Amendment 0002 The purpose of this amendment is to extend the respose period for this opportunity and to provide the following responses to Industry questions. Question 1: The combined synopsis identifies “Robline (Ocean) STS” 8 mm rope as part 7155408. Robline’s published catalog lists 7152800 for the 8 mm Ocean STS (Dyneema) variant and 7155408 for the 8 mm Robtec STS (HMPE) variant; both show 9,430 daN breaking load and about 47 g/m linear density. Answer 1: The required part number is 7155408. The number listed below (7152800) is an old part number and is now obsolete. Question 2: Please confirm whether the required product is the Robtec STS 7155408 or Ocean STS 7152800, and which product name must appear on the manufacturer CoC and test reports. The notice also specifies elongation no greater than 0.19% at 94.3 kN, which is the stated breaking-strength threshold. Please confirm the intended test load and method for that elongation figure so we can obtain matching certified data. Answer 2: The specified elongation no greater than 0.19% at 94.3 kN corresponds to the ultimate breaking strength. Elongation is measured at the point of failure during a standard "pull to break" (destructive) test. The manufacturer's standard destructive testing method (measuring elongation at the ultimate breaking strength threshold) is fully acceptable to the Government. Amendment 0001 The purpose of this amendment to is to provide the following response to Industry question: Question 1: Please confirm the intended elongation test requirement and test load for Robline P/N 7155408. The solicitation states elongation ?0.1% at 94.3 kN, while 94.3 kN is the published average breaking-load value. Please advise the acceptable manufacturer test method and documentation required for technical acceptability. Answer 1: As indicated in the RFQ, the elongation requirement is ?0.19% at 94.3 kN (not ?0.1% as stated in the question). See basis of award in this RFQ for technical acceptability criteria. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Request for Quotation (RFQ) number is N66604-27-Q-0041. This requirement is being solicited as a 100% small business set-aside. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this acquisition is 314994 Rope, Cordage, Twine, Tire Cord, and Tire Fabric Mills. The Small Business Size Standard is 1,000 Employees. The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) requires procurement of the following brand name item, no substitutions permitted. Item Description Part # Qty. Quoted Unit Price (Offeror to Fill In) Quoted Extended Price (Offeror to Fill In) Robline (Ocean) STS 8mm diameter rope 7155408 1 spool/ 3000m $ $ This specific brand of rope is essential due to its unique performance characteristics, including high breaking strength, minimal elongation, and low shrinkage values, which are critical for the extreme ocean environments in which the equipment operates. Utilizing an alternative brand would alter physical tolerances, necessitating a costly and complex system redesign. Furthermore, this specific rope is required for critical engineering and qualification testing of deployment systems, making timely delivery essential to meet scheduled operational requirements. Delivery is F.O.B. Destination: InterOcean Systems, LLC, 9201 Isaac Street, Suite C, Santee, CA 92071 The Government’s required delivery is 16 weeks After Date of Contract (ADC) or sooner. Spool and Packaging The contractor shall: deliver 3,000 meters as a single, continuous, unspliced piece on one spool. No factory splices, mechanical joints, or knots are acceptable. The anchor line shall be wound on sturdy, weather-resistant reel/spool suitable for field deployment and long-term storage. The spool shall prevent tangling, hockling, kinks, and bird-nesting during payout and spooling. Core diameter shall comply with manufacturer bend radius recommendations for 8mm HMPE line. The spool shall be labeled with contract number, manufacturer lot/batch number, date of manufacture, fiber type, length, and nominal diameter. Offerors shall include shipping cost into the unit price in the table above. A separate line for shipping will not be provided. Quality Assurance, Inspection, and Verification: Certificate of Conformance (CoC) The vendor shall provide an official Manufacturer Certificate of Conformance (CoC) with the shipment certifying that: The delivered material is Robline Ocean STS 8mm. The product is newly manufactured (first-run production, not surplus or aged inventory). The lot has undergone factory proof-load testing and visual inspection. Test Data and Factory Acceptance Reports: The contractor shall provide certified test reports verifying Average Breaking Strength (?94.3 kN), Safe Working Load (?18.86 kN), elongation (?0.19% at 94.3 kN), and linear density (47.2 g/m). The Government intends to award a single FFP purchase order to the eligible, responsible offeror whose quote is the lowest price technically acceptable. In order to be determined technically acceptable, the offeror shall: Quote brand name item, no substitutions allowed, in the required quantity; Submit technical data sheets or manufacturer cut-sheets with specs with its quote; and Submit verifiable QA and testing documentation with its quote. In accordance with DFARS 252.204-7024, the Government will consider SPRS risk assessments (including item, price, and supplier risk) during the evaluation of quotations. A high-risk rating or negative performance history in SPRS may demonstrate a high risk of unsuccessful performance and could result in the quote being excluded from consideration for award. In accordance with DFARS
