Brand name alzonza berango, S. L. BOW thruster motor

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is procuring a single Alconza Berango S.L. bow thruster motor (Part Number MDV-050BBB-J068N) for the Military Sealift Command through a firm fixed-price supply contract. This procurement is being conducted as a sole-source acquisition under FAR Parts 12 and 13.5 simplified procedures for commercial products and services, justified as a critical safety item for propulsion/machinery control systems with no authorized distributors or direct government sales available from the original equipment manufacturer. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide documentation from the OEM or authorized distributors to be considered technically compliant. The evaluation criteria prioritize technical compliance and past performance over price, with both technical factors being more important than cost considerations. The original response deadline of June 28, 2025, has been extended to July 15, 2025, through Amendment 0001, and all submissions must be emailed to amanda.j.cordell.civ@us.navy.mil.

This solicitation is set aside for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) enterprises, indicating the government's commitment to supporting diverse contractors in defense procurement. No incumbent contractors are specifically mentioned in the available documentation, though the brand name justification indicates this is for a replacement or maintenance item rather than a new installation. While specific contract values are not disclosed, the procurement involves a single unit with delivery required by December 18, 2025, suggesting this is a time-sensitive replacement for critical ship equipment. The motor must be delivered to the Military Sealift Command BATS Warehouse facility in San Diego, California, indicating the place of performance involves West Coast naval operations. The procurement utilizes Fiscal Year 2025 Navy Working Capital Funds and includes requirements for electronic invoice submission through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system, along with unique item identification and critical safety item tracking protocols.
