Summary
This is a Sources Sought notice issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) for crane parts and components related to Capstan repair and maintenance.

The government seeks parts compatible with Capstan 87-00034 located at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay within the NAVFAC Southeast Area of Responsibility. The specified requirement includes a Stearns Brake Model 82,000 Series 330 ft-lbs brake (P/N 1-082-042-02-261), and all parts must comply with NAVFAC P-307 Weight Handling Program Management standards for compatible maintenance and replacement parts.
Interested parties must submit responses by 12:00 PM EDT on September 7, 2026, to Kendal.r.norton.civ@us.navy.mil with the subject line "Capstan Repair Part Sources Sought." Responses are limited to five pages and 5MB in size and should address whether respondents have successfully used non-name brand or alternative brand components for Capstan 87-00034 maintenance and repair (including descriptions of obstacles and successes), or provide reasoning for recommending brand-name parts per NAVFAC P-307 standards. No reimbursement will be provided for response costs, and no technical point-of-contact information or presentation appointments will be made to protect procurement integrity. If no viable alternative sources are identified by the deadline, the government will proceed with procurement of the specified brand-name parts through the Base Operating Support Contract (BOSC).
