OFFICIAL NOTICE CONTENT
Opportunity description
Amendment 0001 - Septmeber 18, 2026 The solicitation is being amended to proceed under a sole source determination to Chromalox. The Government issued an initial Solicitation and received multiple small-business offers; however, the responses demonstrated that third party sources introduced substantial price increases and did not provide a cost effective or viable alternative to the OEM. These results further validate that procurement from Chromalox, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer, is required to maintain operational integrity and prevent mission delays as well as unnecessary cost impacts. Accordingly, the solicitation is amended to reflect a sole source procurement to Chromalox to ensure continuity of operations and alignment with established performance requirements. Please see attachments for amendment information. Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY), Portsmouth, VA, has a requirement for Heat Tracing Strip, Tape Model #: SRL 5?1CR, Chromalox P/N: 382758. This requirement will be procured as a brand?name sole?source acquisition from Chromalox, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and its authorized distributors. The requested parts are �one?for?one� replacements and must be procured directly from the OEM (or its authorized distributor) to ensure the equipment operates in accordance with shipyard and OEM performance standards. Any other parts or accessories not manufactured by Chromalox would risk malfunction, render the equipment inoperable, and cause delays in scheduled vessel work packages. This solicitation will result in a Firm?Fixed?Price (FFP) contract. No substitutes are allowed. Please refer to the attachments for the complete description and specifications. Vendors shall submit: A completed: Solicitation (SF 1449) N4215826QE080, Continuation Sheet (Attachment B), Technical Capability Statment (Attachment C), and A vendor's quote. NOTE.

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS
What deserves attention before you spend bid time
These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.
This record is in a solicitation stage, so submission instructions, evaluation factors, attachments and amendments should be reviewed before a bid/no-bid decision.
The stored deadline is within three days. Check earlier question, site-visit and attachment requirements immediately; the final response date may not be the first deadline that matters.
The current feed does not show a program-specific set-aside restriction. That does not remove other eligibility, responsibility, registration or solicitation-specific requirements.
NAICS 333414 · PSC 4520 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.
GovBidFit stores 2 notices tied to this solicitation. Review the notice chain and official SAM.gov history because later postings can change dates, scope or instructions.
GovBidFit has stored substantive notice text for this record, but attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A can still contain requirements that are not visible in the description alone.
The source data includes 2 public contracting contacts. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.

Before deciding to bid
GovBidFit is independent and is not a U.S. government website. GovBidFit stores a structured mirror of SAM.gov public opportunity data in its own database and keeps the compact snapshot as a fallback. The official SAM.gov notice remains the controlling source. The official SAM.gov notice controls if anything here differs from the source or a later amendment.
