4520 heating cable kit

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 20 heating cable kits manufactured by DRS MARLO COIL (part number 1624-7200) for SRF YOKOSUKA, JAPAN through a Request for Quote (RFQ) numbered N0040625Q0358. The solicitation is a brand name acquisition for a specific heating cable kit that includes 10 components such as cable, connector plug, backshell, cord grip, sealing ring, locknut, pipe strap, heat cable, power connection kit, and end seal kit. Quotes will be evaluated based on technical acceptability, vendor past performance, and price, with the government intending to make a single award. The RFQ is set to close on March 7, 2025, at 11:59 AM local time, and interested vendors must be registered in SAM.gov and capable of using Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) for invoicing. Contractors will need to meet the salient characteristics specified in the solicitation and demonstrate compliance with the detailed requirements.

This solicitation is a 100% small business set-aside, with quantities distributed across six Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs): 2 units under CLIN 0001, 3 units under CLIN 0002, 4 units each under CLINs 0003-0005, and 3 units under CLIN 0006. The contract will be executed on a firm-fixed price basis with FOB Origin terms, and inspection and acceptance will occur at destination. The items are specifically for installing condensate drain piping for various MRUs on the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON CVN-73, with DRS MARLO COIL identified as the sole manufacturer due to proprietary design and patent rights. The current back-order status with an estimated shipping date of 05/22/2025 has been noted as unacceptable to the project team's maintenance schedule. Potential contractors should be aware that this is a critical replacement part for naval maritime infrastructure.
