Brand name OEM eaton corporation brake propeller shaft parts

NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound is procuring brand name brake propeller shaft parts manufactured exclusively by Eaton Corporation to support the Military Sealift Command's USNS Tippecanoe (T-AO 199). The firm fixed-price supply contract requires specific components including 4 Bladder Split Tube parts (P/N 513565) and 48 Nuts (P/N 000110X0039) for critical propulsion and machinery control systems. These parts are considered essential safety equipment that only authorized field service technicians can access and replace, with Eaton Corporation holding exclusive rights to all drawings and specifications. The government will evaluate proposals based on technical factors including delivery date, price, and past performance to select the most advantageous offer. The original solicitation closing date of June 23, 2025 has been amended and extended to July 25, 2025, with questions accepted until one day prior to the response deadline.

This procurement is set aside as a Total Small Business opportunity, specifically designated for Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB) under NAICS code 333618 for Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing. The contract utilizes FAR Parts 12 and 13 procedures and represents a sole source justification due to the critical nature of the brake propeller shaft components and Eaton Corporation's proprietary manufacturing specifications. Delivery is required to the MSC W143 Warehouse in Norfolk, Virginia by September 17, 2025, emphasizing the time-sensitive nature of this maritime equipment replacement. The procurement documents indicate this is for FY 2026 operations, and the amendment has removed the previous requirement for authorized distributor documentation, streamlining the qualification process for eligible small business contractors.
