USNS ALAN SHEPARD DISTILLER OVERHAULS

The contract, identified by solicitation number N3220526Q0075 and titled USNS ALAN SHEPARD DISTILLER OVERHAULS, is a combined procurement issued by the Department of Defense through Mschq Norfolk, Virginia, for the acquisition of distiller plant overhaul parts exclusively from Aqua-Chem to support the SPD 35-53TPD Distilling Plant aboard the USNS ALAN SHEPARD. The requirement is sole-source, justified under other than full and open competition due to the necessity of direct replacement parts that maintain the fleet configuration baseline, with no set-aside provisions applied; the NAICS code 336611 applies to this procurement. The deadline for submission of offers is July 16, 2026, at 10:00 AM EDT, with a required delivery date of August 1, 2026. All proposals must acknowledge receipt of the solicitation amendment SF 30 by one of three specified methods—completing designated sections of the amendment, endorsing each offer copy, or submitting a separate communication referencing the solicitation and amendment numbers—to avoid rejection. The point of contact for inquiries is Christina Guevara, with Edward Ruhling as the secondary contact, both reachable through official Navy email and phone lines. Despite the detailed technical specification requiring Aqua-Chem parts exclusively and a firm delivery timeline, no cost data, CLIN structure, payment terms, inspection criteria, packaging requirements, or contract administration details such as COR/COTR designation or appropriation strings are provided in the available documentation. The contract is not expected to include competitive evaluation factors, representations, certifications, or special requirements beyond the branded part specification and acknowledgment of amendment compliance.
