CSU lights

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is procuring CSU (Capacitor Supplied Unit) emergency lights through solicitation SPMYM2-25-Q-2556. The procurement involves 95 Navy Spotlight with CSU lights for Site BB and 80 lights for Site BA, manufactured by TDG Transit Design Group, for delivery to reactor servicing facilities at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington. The acquisition aims to replace battery-supplied emergency lights to reduce maintenance complexity, disposal costs, and mitigate lithium battery fire concerns while meeting NFPA 101 and UFC 3-600-01 standards. The solicitation follows commercial and simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Parts 12 and 13.5, with contractors required to complete pricing, provide manufacturer information, complete representations and certifications, and maintain current SAM.gov registration. The extended due date for quotes is September 2, 2025, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time, with all questions to be submitted via email.

This procurement is designated as a 100% total small business set-aside, restricting participation to qualified small businesses. TDG Transit Design Group is identified as the sole source manufacturer, being the only North American producer of capacitor-supplied emergency lights that meets the required standards, with European alternatives unable to support North American illumination and electrical distribution requirements. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price supply contract with FOB Destination terms to Bremerton, WA 98314. The total quantity consists of 175 emergency lights across two sites, with a mandatory delivery date of November 1, 2025. Performance will occur at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, with government inspection and acceptance of the delivered items required.
