Overhaul and Testing of Leslie Valves

The Naval Sea Systems Command at Norfolk Naval Shipyard is seeking to award a firm fixed price contract to modify an existing 80-ton General Electric locomotive, enabling it to operate using only one engine at a time. Currently, the locomotive runs with both engines simultaneously, but this modification will allow operators to isolate and run a single engine independently, enhancing operational flexibility. The contract is designated as a sole-source procurement, with McHugh Locomotive & Equipment being the only qualified provider due to their proprietary knowledge, experience, and existing warranty coverage on the wiring system, which is essential for maintenance and repair activities. The procurement falls under NAICS code 488210, with a small business size standard of $34 million, and the Product Service Code is K022. The period of performance is scheduled from August 1, 2025, to October 8, 2025. All solicitation documents, including amendments, will be posted electronically on BetaSAM (https://beta.sam.gov), with the solicitation expected to be available by July 25, 2025. Interested vendors must register on BetaSAM and the System for Award Management (SAM) to participate, and are responsible for monitoring updates. The government emphasizes that no telephone or FAX requests will be accepted, and no hard copies will be mailed. Offerors must self-certify that they are not suspended or debarred and are eligible to receive federal contracts. Questions regarding the solicitation should be directed to Eugene Fenner via email. The contract aims to leverage commercial services and ensure the locomotive's modification aligns with military operational requirements.
