Custom Kitchen Appliances

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution, is seeking solely sourced custom kitchen appliances for integration into Navy ISO shelters under solicitation SP3300-26-Q-0204, with a response deadline of July 24, 2026. The procurement is a fixed-price purchase order justified under FAR 6.102-1 and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) due to the unique design and integration of appliances originally developed by Babington Technology, Inc., which are essential for maintaining form, fit, and function compatibility with existing medical shelter systems. The work involves refurbishing four U.S. Navy ISO shelters at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, by replacing key components including tilt skillets with Airtronic multi-fuel burners, prep sinks, exhaust hoods, load plates, cabinets, and tilting field sanitation units—all built to full stainless-steel specification with integrated plumbing, electrical, sterilization, hot water, and waste grinding systems. The appliances must be supplied with Level III engineering drawings to ensure configuration control and logistical interoperability with Navy Expeditionary Medical Facilities, and no competitive procurement is allowed due to the proprietary nature of the systems and the risk of disrupting training, maintenance, and spare parts supply chains. No formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, or pricing details are included in the documentation, reflecting its status as a presolicitation notice; however, the sole-source basis is firmly established by the government’s assertion that Babington Technology, Inc. is the only qualified source capable of providing the exact replacements without requiring new validation, training, or parts stocking. Delivery and installation will occur exclusively at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, with government personnel from the Navy Medical Readiness Logistics Command and DLA Distribution responsible for inspection and acceptance based strictly on original design specifications. The contracting office is located in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with Tom Semones as the primary point of contact, and while the total contract value is not stated, the justification implies it falls under the $900,000 threshold. No packaging, marking, or invoicing procedures are detailed, and the offeror has not submitted any representations or certifications; the acquisition further invokes national security considerations under FAR 6.103-6, as disclosure of operational details could compromise military logistics. No alternate vendors, options, or socioeconomic set-asides are involved, making this a narrowly targeted, non-competitive effort to sustain critical medical deployment capabilities
