USNS BRASHEAR Immersion Heater

The U.S. Government, through the Military Sealift Command, plans to award a sole source contract to Indeeco LLC for the supply of immersion heaters critical to the Jacket Water System of the Main Diesel Generators aboard the USNS CARL BRASHEAR (T-AKE 7). These heaters, which provide both heating and cooling functions, are proprietary components manufactured exclusively by Indeeco and are not available through any other commercial vendor. As the original equipment manufacturer, Indeeco is the only authorized source for these parts, necessitating a non-competitive procurement to ensure operational continuity and system integrity on the vessel. The solicitation, identified as N4044326Q0040, was posted on July 30, 2026, with responses due by August 5, 2026. The contract falls under NAICS code 333414 for industrial machinery manufacturing and is managed by the Department of Defense’s Military Sealift Command based in San Diego, California. All purchases of these immersion heaters must be made through Indeeco, and the performance location is tied to the vessel’s operations with logistics coordinated from San Diego. Direct inquiries should be directed to Jorge Soto, the primary point of contact, via email or phone provided in the solicitation.
