This federal contract award was made by the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), a defense agency, to Tri-State Technical Sales Corp, a for-profit industrial equipment distributor based in Malvern, Pennsylvania. The $85,089.00 firm-fixed-price purchase order is for the delivery of a GEARBOX ASSEMBLY, with an ultimate completion date of April 4, 2019.
The original solicitation was a pre-solicitation notice that described the requirement as a sole-source procurement for a specific FLOWSERVE CORPORATION part number. The government indicated that it did not own the necessary data rights to purchase this part from additional sources and that reverse engineering would be uneconomical. The contract is not set aside for small businesses.
Tri-State Technical Sales Corp is an experienced federal contractor, holding several indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to provide industrial components such as valves, gauges, and other parts to support military logistics, supply chain management, and maintenance programs across the Department of Defense (DoD). This specific award demonstrates Tri-State's role as a key supplier of specialized equipment to NAVSUP and other DoD agencies.
