The Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound is procuring brand name Caterpillar Inc. damper parts and related components for LPD-17 Class Ship's Service Diesel Generators through a firm-fixed price commercial acquisition. The procurement includes six specific line items: a damper, an air shutoff valve, a stud injector clamp, a lock nut, a plate, and a set screw, with quantities ranging from 1 to 16 units per item. These parts are direct replacement spare parts for CAT Diesel Engine Model 3608 systems and must comply with technical manual S9311-D1-MMC-020, Volume 2, Revision 3. The acquisition is justified as sole source due to Caterpillar's proprietary technical data and intellectual property, which prevents open competition and helps ensure authentic OEM parts to avoid counterfeit assemblies. Offers are due September 21, 2025 at 1:00 PM, with the procurement following FAR Part 12 commercial acquisition procedures and FAR Part 13 simplified acquisition procedures.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under FAR Subpart 19.5, restricting participation to qualified small businesses in NAICS code 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing). No current contractors or incumbents are specifically identified in the solicitation documentation. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the procurement involves relatively small quantities of specialized diesel engine components, suggesting a modest overall contract value. Delivery is required by December 17, 2025, with performance at the U.S. Naval Base in Sasebo, Japan, specifically to DoD Activity Address Code N45598. The point of contact for requirements is Kazuyuki Saito, Requirements Generator, and the contract will include various federal acquisition regulations and supplemental clauses related to shipping, inspection, packaging, and contract administration for international delivery.
