About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), specifically the St. Paul District, is conducting market research to procure three Dodge-Baldor Pillow Block Bearings (Part #P4B-BAR-800) for the Dredge Goetz vessel. The agency is seeking input from potential manufacturers and distributors who can provide these specific bearings, with a focus on understanding the market landscape and possible sourcing options. The primary objective is to determine whether competition can be restricted due to brand name requirements, with a specific emphasis on identifying qualified sources within the NAICS 332991 category for Pillow Blocks with Ball or Roller Bearings Manufacturing. Potential respondents must carefully note that this is a market research notice, not a solicitation, and any responses will help USACE evaluate sourcing capabilities. The deadline for responses is January 3, 2025, with all communications required to use the specific subject line "Notice: (DBPBB) Dodge-Baldor Pillow Block Bearings" and be submitted in PDF format.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, with a size standard of 1,250 employees, and welcomes responses from various small business categories including 8(a), HUBZone, Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned (EDWOSB), Woman-Owned (WOSB), and Service-Disabled Veteran Owned (SDVOSB) businesses. The brand-specific bearings are critical to the Dredge Goetz's operational requirements, with no identified alternative manufacturers capable of providing a compatible replacement without significant vessel modifications. Market research conducted by USACE found no equivalent substitutes for the four-bolt split configuration, tin babbitt insert material, and specific 430 lb weight specifications of the Dodge-Baldor bearings. When a formal solicitation is issued, it will be posted on SAM.gov, and interested parties must respond directly to that announcement. Potential vendors are advised that a response to this market research notice does not guarantee inclusion in a bidders list or solicitation distribution.
