Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior award N0017425P0025, awarded to Constellation Machining for $19,279 (12/20/24–02/09/25). The prior work involved manufacture of the 8594745 Rev J shear pin, which aligns with the current requirement to procure “SHEAR PIN” hardware for NSWC IHD assembly use. The shared part number/revision and the focus on producing the same shear pin item suggest this effort is a continuation or replenishment of the same production need.
