Darnell-Rose P/N WB-0382-PS8 8X2

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command (JMC) is seeking to procure 360 caster wheels, specifically Part Number WB-0382-PS8 8X2, with 3/4 ID bearings and 8x2 thick soft poly tread, from a pre-approved vendor. The solicitation is a simplified acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) with a brand name restriction, primarily for the Naval Surface Warfare Center's Universal Large Motor Cart. All contractors must have an active System for Award Management (SAM) registration and submit quotes on a signed solicitation form to regina.l.gibson7.civ@army.mil by May 5, 2025, at 3:30 PM Central Daylight Savings time. Questions or requests for additional information must be submitted no later than 72 hours before the solicitation close date. Initially, the contract was with Casters of Oklahoma, Inc., but an amendment changed the vendor to Darnell-Rose.

The contract is set aside exclusively for small businesses under the NAICS category 332999 (All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing), with a size standard of 750 employees. The procurement is a firm fixed-price acquisition using a Request for Quote (RFQ) method, with inspection and acceptance to be performed by the government at the destination. The place of performance is the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant in McAlester, OK 74501. Delivery is scheduled for June 30, 2025, to Warehouse 8. Notably, an amendment on May 1, 2025, ultimately cancelled the entire contract by reducing the quantity from 360 to 0, despite previous amendments extending the solicitation deadline and changing the vendor. The estimated value appears to be under $25,000, as the procurement is being conducted under the Micro-Purchase Threshold with a brand name justification.
