MODIFICATION KIT,SH

Award notice SPMYM226P5194, issued by DLA Maritime - Puget Sound, concerns the sole-source procurement of a Type MX-9 Shaft Seal Change-Out Kit with a 29.750 inch diameter. The contract is awarded to Defense Maritime Solutions, Inc., the original equipment manufacturer, as the item is a direct replacement for existing systems and involves proprietary data and patents that limit competition. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 336611 and is managed by the Department of Defense office in Bremerton, Washington, with the physical place of performance located in San Diego, California. The scope of work requires the delivery of a seal assembly that functions as a drop-in replacement without necessitating engineering or operational adjustments. Technical compliance is governed by drawing DWG US 71435 Rev X and NAVSEA Letter 9243/CVN65. A critical performance requirement is full adherence to MIL-S-901C standards for medium-weight, Grade A shockproof equipment, as verified by Aero-Nav Laboratories Report No 3-1838. Packaging must be sufficient to protect the components against shock and vibration in marine environments to maintain these certifications.
