47--STRAINER,SEDIMENT

Solicitation SPE7M3-26-Q-0002, issued by the DLA Land and Maritime Fluid Handling Division under Special Emergency Procurement Authority, seeks quotes for 13,000 units of sediment strainers (NSN 4730-01-475-2196). This is a critical application item and a Navy field level reparable item. Each strainer must be supplied with dust caps or plugs on the inlet and outlet ports. Because this is a restricted source item, engineering source approval by the government design control activity is required. Alternate offerors must provide recommended spare parts lists and repair procedures. The contract is a firm fixed price agreement with a requested delivery of 180 days after order. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the destination, with shipments delivered to the DLA Distribution DDSP New Cumberland facility in Pennsylvania. Packaging must adhere to MIL-STD-2073-1E and RP001, with marking following MIL-STD-129. A key sustainability initiative requires the reduction of plastic packaging. Additionally, the contractor must ensure that mercury or mercury-containing compounds are not intentionally added to the hardware, except where functionally required by NAVSEA. Award will be based on the best value to the government, considering both solicitation requirements and the offeror's past performance.
