Crane Sea Valves USNS WASHINGTON CHAMBERS

The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is soliciting quotes for one 30" Series 200 Lug Butterfly Valve (Part Number 30BG67731), a critical sea valve replacement component for the USNS WASHINGTON CHAMBERS (T-AKE 11) that supplies seawater to essential engineering systems including the firemain, navigation, and propulsion systems. The specific item required is a CRANE ChemPharma & Energy model 30BG67731X valve, with quotes due by 1:00 P.M. EST on February 13, 2026, to james.l.parker2.civ@us.navy.mil. Award will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable quoter based on evaluation of technical capability, price, and past performance, with the government issuing one firm-fixed price purchase order. Quoters must include Section 232 tariffs, wood packaging, DOD unique identification, and shipping costs in their prices, and must provide unit pricing inclusive of shipping, total firm fixed price, estimated delivery time, technical specifications confirming part compliance, and country of product origin. The acceptance and delivery deadline is February 27, 2026, with delivery required FOB Destination to MSC SSU BATS San Diego at 9284 Balboa Avenue.

This procurement is not set-aside for small businesses and carries no Defense Priorities and Allocation System (DPAS) rating. The identified capable vendors are Valve Automation and Controls of San Diego and Ferguson Industrial M/V Marine, Inc., though the justification for other than full and open competition is based on CRANE ChemPharma & Energy's proprietary rights to the valve drawings and brand name restrictions, as the manufacturer sells only directly or through authorized distributors. The anticipated procurement value is $59,290.25, representing a single valve unit replacement. This is a critical equipment requirement driven by MSC standardization initiatives, which specify that only the CRANE model satisfies government requirements for replacement items across the entire T-AKE class fleet (ships 1-14), and compliance with U.S. Coast Guard and American Bureau of Shipping certification requirements mandates OEM or approved technical representative servicing. The place of performance is Norfolk, VA 23511, with packaging compliance required under MIL-STD 2073-1 or ASTM D3951 standards and ISPM 15 certification for wood packaging material, with 48-hour advance shipping notification required to MSCPAC_BATS@us.navy.mil.
