PD-45-0080; Subsea Rollers and Bearings

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) is issuing a Sources‑Sought RFI (N64498‑26‑RFPREQ‑PD‑45‑0080) to gather market information on commercial, modified commercial, or non‑commercial solutions for the design, fabrication, and testing of subsea rollers and associated bearings used in payload‑handling equipment. Respondents must detail their capability to provide non‑metallic materials, schedule estimates (design, prototype, testing, ROM cost, non‑recurring engineering, production), and equipment origin. Key performance requirements include operation in both dry and subsea environments (prioritizing subsea), support of dynamic loads of 25,000 lbf (assembly A) and 8,000 lbf (assembly B), a friction coefficient ≤0.150, travel speed ≥30 ft/min, compliance with MIL‑DTL‑167A, temperature ranges from –20 °F to 140 °F (air) and 28 °F to 95 °F (seawater), operating depths ≥400 ft, and resistance to corrosion, bio‑fouling, and foreign debris. The rollers must achieve a 45‑year service life with ≥100 system cycles per year, maintain full performance for 18 months without maintenance, minimize acoustic signature, limit assembly components, and avoid implodable or explodable volumes. Vendors must submit an unclassified electronic capability statement (including company data, NAICS, socio‑economic status, existing or feasible bespoke products, design margins, mounting method, expected cycles before maintenance, and any implodable/explodable volumes) by 18:00 EST, 13 May 2026, with “N64498‑26‑RFPREQ‑PD‑45‑0080” in the email subject line to jenny.e.tomeo.civ@us.navy.mil. This RFI is for market research only; no funds are available for response preparation and submissions are voluntary.
