USS SOMERSET (LPD-25) MPDE Direct Replacement Parts

The Department of Defense's Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (SWRMC) is planning to award a sole source contract to Fairbanks Morse Defense for the procurement of direct replacement parts necessary to overhaul two main propulsion diesel engines (MPDE) on the USS SOMERSET (LPD-25). This procurement supports the FY-25 Dry Docking Selected Restricted Availability. As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the ship's MPDE, Fairbanks Morse Defense is the only known source capable of providing the required parts, which must be identical in material, form, fit, and function to ensure compatibility with existing equipment. The contract will be processed under FAR part 15, and the NAICS code applicable is 333618, which pertains to Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing, with a business size standard of 1,500 employees. Interested parties are invited to submit concise documentation within 15 days of the notice publication demonstrating their capability or providing equivalent solutions. Submissions should include company details such as name, address, contact information, CAGE code, and business size, and must be sent via email to designated Navy contacts. This notice is not a solicitation but aims to gather information for potential future competitive procurement considerations. All responses will be reviewed solely for assessing future procurement strategies, and current certifications in the System for Acquisition Management must be active for eligibility. The contract aims to ensure the continued operational readiness of the USS SOMERSET's propulsion systems through OEM-approved replacement parts.
