2040 capstan head

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a specialized Capstan Head (part number A-6454) for SRF Yokosuka, Japan, through a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued by NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound. The solicitation, numbered N0040625Q0145, requires a highly specific marine hardware component with precise technical specifications, including a 46 1-2 inch diameter, 26 7-8 inch height, and specific material and hardness requirements. The procurement will be negotiated on a sole source basis with Wartsila Defense Inc. under FAR 6.302, though authorized distributors may submit capability statements or proposals. Award will be made primarily based on price, with the potential for past performance to influence the selection if low-price submissions appear to lack value. Quotes are due by 11:59 AM on December 11, 2024, with the government evaluating submissions to ensure comprehensive compliance with technical and contractual requirements.

The contract is designated as an 8(a) Sole Source acquisition within the Hardware Manufacturing (NAICS 332510) and Marine Hardware and Hull Items (PSC 2040) categories. The procurement is a firm-fixed-price supply contract with FOB Origin terms, involving a single unit of the Capstan Head priced over $5,000, which necessitates DoD unique identification marking. The item must be manufactured from ASTM A487-487M Grade 2 Class A, B, or C material with specific flame hardening specifications of 350 BHM minimum on the capstan rope area. Performance will be centered at SRF Yokosuka, Japan, supporting naval logistics and maintenance operations. While specific award value is not disclosed, the specialized nature of the component and the sole source designation suggest a targeted, precise procurement aligned with specific naval equipment requirements.
