USNS YUMA (T-EPF 8) - Air Compressors

The Military Sealift Command is seeking to procure brand name Sauer Compressor parts for installation and maintenance aboard the USNS YUMA (T-EPF 9), a critical vessel in the Navy’s expeditionary fleet. This procurement is being conducted under solicitation number N3220526Q7226, which was posted on August 4, 2026, with a response deadline of August 20, 2026. The contract is designated as a Small Business Set Aside - Total, meaning only small businesses are eligible to compete, and it falls under NAICS code 333912, which covers other commercial and service industry machinery manufacturing. All parts must meet strict brand name specifications to ensure compatibility, reliability, and operational readiness onboard the ship. The contracting activity is managed by the Military Sealift Command in Norfolk, Virginia, with Richard Bell serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries and submissions. Proposals must be submitted through the SAM.gov platform, and while the place of performance is not geographically specified, the parts are intended for use directly on the USNS YUMA, requiring timely delivery and adherence to military-grade quality standards. The contract type is combined, indicating it may include both requirements and incentive structures, and the agency emphasizes the urgency of sourcing authentic Sauer components to maintain the integrity of the ship’s air compression systems during ongoing missions.
