USNS SACAGAWEA Pedestal

The contract solicitation N3220526Q7198 is for the procurement of specialized mechanical components, including rigid seals, oil rings, bearing shells, and radial shaft seals, for the USNS SACAGAWEA (T-AKE 2), with performance directly tied to a scheduled dry dock maintenance window. The sole-source justification indicates an urgent operational need requiring exact match to existing fleet configurations under COMSICNST 4790.3, with all items subject to strict DoD Unique Item Identification (IUID) compliance. Each line item must be marked with a two-dimensional Data Matrix symbol per MIL-STD-130 and ISO/IEC 16022 ECC200 standards, containing enterprise identifiers, serial numbers, part numbers, and lot/batch data, and reported to the DoD IUID Registry via WAWF or direct submission. Packaging must adhere to MIL-STD-2073-1 and ASTM D3951, with ISPM-15 treated wood certification, and labeling per MIL-STD-129, specifying the vessel name, requisition number, and purchase order number in minimum 2-inch stenciled text. Delivery is FOB destination to MSC BATS in San Diego, CA, with all risk and cost borne by the contractor until receipt, and the final delivery deadline is February 2, 2028. The contract is structured as Firm Fixed Price, with evaluation strictly on a Lowest-Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis, meaning technical acceptability is a mandatory pass/fail threshold, and price is assessed only for reasonableness. Compliance with a wide array of regulatory and security clauses is required, including prohibitions on inverted domestic corporations, trafficking in persons, and foreign-made unmanned aircraft systems, alongside mandatory cybersecurity and data integrity provisions under FAR 52.240-90 and 52.240-91, with multiple deviations active for System for Award Management and other clauses. The government will conduct inspection and acceptance at the destination, with no contractor involvement in those functions, and invoicing is exclusively mandatory through WAWF using designated DoDAACs N50082 and N62387. No contract value is disclosed due to absent pricing data, though all applicable line items use firm fixed price arrangements, and the solicitation is not set aside for any socioeconomic category despite listing multiple qualifying categories.
