The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a 3020 Gear Worm Assembly through a sole source negotiation with Timken Gears & Services Inc. under FAR 6.302-1. This acquisition will utilize FAR Parts 12 and 13, following Commercial and Simplified Acquisition Procedures for what is categorized as Speed Changer, Industrial High-Speed Drive, and Gear Manufacturing equipment. The government intends to award a firm-fixed price supply contract for these transmission components. The solicitation is expected to be posted on Sam.gov on August 15, 2025, with quotes due by August 29, 2025. Potential offerors may submit responses prior to the due date, which will be considered solely to determine whether the government should conduct a competitive procurement instead.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and identifies Timken Gears & Services Inc. as the intended sole source contractor.

Award values and specific quantities for the gear worm assembly are not disclosed in this notice. Prospective offerors are responsible for independently downloading solicitation documents from Sam.gov and monitoring the site for amendments, as the government assumes no responsibility for offerors' inability to access posted materials. The timeline indicates a two-week response period from the anticipated solicitation posting date to the quote submission deadline.
