Custom Kitchen Appliances for ISO Units

Defense Logistics Agency Distribution intends to award a sole-source purchase order to Babington Technology, Inc. for custom kitchen appliances to be manufactured and installed into Navy ISO shelters supporting 144-bed Expeditionary Medical Facilities; the notice posted July 22, 2026 and is informational only—no solicitation will be issued and no responses are anticipated.

The procurement covers four complete kitchen equipment systems including stainless-steel prep sinks, drain boards, tilt skillets with airtronic multi-fuel burners, exhaust hoods, load plates, cabinets, plumbing and electrical components, sterilization systems, on-board waste tanks with grinder/transfer pumps, on-board hot water heaters, and Level III drawing sets for installation and integration. Work is performed at DLA Distribution Hill, Utah. Babington Technology originally designed and manufactured these items for integration into the shelters; DLA's Medical Assembly and Shelter Repair Division requires identical replacement items during refurbishment to maintain configuration management, form-fit-function interchangeability, repair parts compatibility, and avoid new training requirements for support personnel. The procurement will use FAR Part 12 procedures and be awarded as a fixed-price purchase order with one expected quote under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), with pricing validated against an Independent Government Cost Estimate. Babington Technology is located at 159 Fabrication Way, Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27804-9356. NAICS 333413 (small business size standard 500 employees); PSC 7310. Contracting Officer: Erik J. Smith; Acquisition Specialist: Tom Semones, Defense Logistics Agency Distribution, 5430 Mifflin Avenue, New Cumberland, Pennsylvania 17070-5008.
