The Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) is procuring XHT Test Tiles for shock testing on specific submarine classes. While standard XHT tiles are used in new construction, this requirement is for a maintenance-specific version designed for in-service vessels. These maintenance tiles require a slightly greater thickness than those used during initial builds. The procurement is being conducted as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) under solicitation number N64498-26-SIMACQ-PD-33-0092. The scope includes manufacturing and furnishing units according to government-provided technical drawings and specifications. Performance is centered in Philadelphia, PA, with a final delivery deadline of September 30, 2026. Technical documentation, including the SF-18 and engineering drawings, details manufacturing standards for additive manufacturing tolerances, material specifications, and marking protocols. Submissions are required through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) portal. NSWCPD has issued a solicitation for XHT Test Tiles used in submarine shock testing, specifically for maintenance on in-service boats. Production and delivery of ISEA XHT Test Tiles to support shock testing for specific submarine classes.

XHT Test Tile will be used to perform shock testing on the proposed tile for a certain class of submarines. XHT tiles are currently applied during new construction, but there is currently not a maintenance tile used for inservice boats. Electric Boat currently procures XHT tiles from Globe Composites and applies them at new construction. However, the maintenance procedure will differ from the methods at new construction, so a slightly thicker tile is needed for the maintenance yards.
