400hz KATO MOTOR GENERATOR

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking to procure two 400Hz Kato Motor Generators with weatherproof enclosures for delivery to the Trident Refit Facility in Silverdale, Washington. These specialized units must feature a 100 HP motor driving a 75 KVA generator, with input of 480V, 3-Phase, 60Hz and output of 120-127V, 400Hz, housed in NEMA 3R weather-resistant enclosures for continuous outdoor use. The motor-generators must be identical to existing units with specific dimensions of 56"W x 84"L x 75"H and include forklift and crane lift capabilities while meeting OSHA safety regulations. Equipment must be inspected and certified by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) with certification documentation required. The anticipated solicitation number SPMYM2-24-Q-1711 is expected to be posted around July 21, 2025, with a due date of July 25, 2025, and all questions must be submitted in writing via email.

This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under commercial and simplified acquisition procedures, with the Non-Manufacture Rule not applying to this requirement. Based on the attached justification document, the estimated contract value is $610,000 for the two units, with Controlled Systems identified as the sole capable vendor through extensive market research. The original equipment manufacturer, Kato Engineering, no longer produces the exact configuration needed, but Controlled Systems can fabricate a compatible version using Kato motor generators with their own weatherproof enclosure. The contract will be structured as a firm fixed-price supply contract with FOB Destination delivery terms. Contractors must ensure compliance with NIST SP 800-171 requirements unless the items qualify as Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS), and must complete specific certification requirements including clause 52.204-24 to be considered responsive.
