Tender Details

This is a notice of intent to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Switlik Parachute Company, Inc (CAGE: 78673, UEI: PBMGLVJFCXK1) for the procurement of additional standard issue CWU-86/P and CWU-87/P in support of Bladder Relief testing. The estimated award date is 05 May 2026 and the estimated value is $35, 500. The estimated delivery date is 31 August 2026.

The CWU-86/P and CWU-87/P are designed specifically to meet these demanding operational parameters, preventing water intrusion and providing the necessary insulation for survival. The Switlik suits possess unique, integrated safety features that are proprietary to their design. Crucially, these suits are certified to be compatible and fully integrate with existing and mandated survival equipment. No other suit meets th...
