USNS ALAN SHEPARD Main Diesel Engine

Solicitation N32205-17-T-7224 is a combined synopsis and request for quotation issued by the Department of Defense, specifically the Military Sealift Command in Norfolk, Virginia, for the procurement of main diesel engine components for the USNS ALAN SHEPARD (T-AKE-3). The requirement includes various commercial parts such as solenoid valves, wear sets, and thermometers. This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 333618, with the award intended for the responsible, technically acceptable quoter providing the lowest evaluated price. Due to proprietary rights and the critical nature of the ship equipment, Fairbanks Morse Engine has been identified as the sole responsible source for the solenoid wear sets and a 3-way pin spanner to ensure standardization across the T-AKE class. The contract specifies a required delivery date of March 10, 2017, with the place of performance located at the MSC Bats Warehouse in San Diego, California.
