DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY.DLA MARITIME.DLA MARITIME SHIPYARDS.DLA MARITIME - PUGET SOUND · Response deadline: Tue, 03 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maritime — Puget Sound is soliciting bids for an NR SEAL OVERHAUL KIT. This falls under the broad category of packing and sealing equipment, a standard need in maritime maintenance and repair operations.
The NAICS code 339991 corresponds to "Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing." Businesses in this classification typically produce mechanical seals, O-rings, gaskets, packing materials, and related components used to prevent leakage in mechanical systems. In a maritime shipyard context, seal overhaul kits are routinely used in the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of shipboard machinery—pumps, valves, propulsion components, and auxiliary equipment that operate in demanding marine environments.
DLA Maritime — Puget Sound supports naval operations at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington, one of the Navy's primary facilities for aircraft carrier and submarine maintenance. Seal overhaul kits are essential inventory items that keep maintenance schedules on track.

Who can bid
This solicitation is open to all responsible offerors—there is no small business set-aside, so large businesses may also compete. Because the set-aside is listed as "No Set aside used," competition will likely include established defense contractors and manufacturers with existing DLA supply relationships.
Small businesses registered under NAICS 339991 may still bid and win based on price, technical merit, and past performance. No special socioeconomic status (HUBZone, 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB) is required for eligibility, though such certifications may still be relevant for scoring in certain DLA evaluation frameworks.
Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and should verify their NAICS code alignment. DLA typically requires suppliers to meet quality standards appropriate to the defense supply chain; see the solicitation for any specific quality certifications or testing requirements.
How to put together a competitive bid
For a seal overhaul kit under full and open competition, focus on these elements:
Technical compliance: Define exactly what components constitute the "NR SEAL OVERHAUL KIT." Government part numbers, military specifications, or commercial item descriptions should be identified in the solicitation. Ensure your kit configuration matches—substitutions often require explicit approval.
Pricing strategy: With no set-aside restricting competition, expect price to carry significant weight. Obtain exact material and labor costs for all seal components; bundle pricing is common for overhaul kits. Consider volume discount structures if the solicitation includes options or estimated quantities.
Quality assurance: DLA Maritime emphasizes traceability and conformance. Document your quality management system (ISO 9001, AS9100, or equivalent if referenced), material certifications, and testing protocols. For marine applications, corrosion resistance and pressure ratings may be critical.
Past performance: Cite relevant deliveries to DLA, other Navy activities, or comparable maritime/industrial customers. Seal kit production history strengthens credibility.
Delivery and packaging: Bremerton-based delivery has logistics implications. Confirm your ability to meet any FOB point, packaging requirements (potentially military standard), and delivery timeframes. Geographic proximity to Puget Sound can reduce freight costs and improve responsiveness.
