Drip pan - frame weldment

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is procuring two specific weldment components for a 7060 MKII MEDG (Medical Equipment Decontamination Generator): a Drip Pan Weldment (Part Number 7569-G501) and a Frame Weldment (Part Number 7578-G501). Both items are manufactured by Howell Laboratories Inc. and are designated as sole source procurements, meaning only the original manufacturer can provide these direct replacement components. To be considered responsive, contractors must complete the entire solicitation packet including cage code, manufacturer information, lead time, and FOB Destination pricing to Bremerton, WA, with all documentation signed and submitted. For non-Commercial Off The Shelf items, contractors must comply with NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity requirements and maintain a current assessment not more than three years old. The original quote deadline of July 21, 2025 has been extended to July 31, 2025 at 1:00 PM, with submissions required via email to jack.edwards@dla.mil or fax to 360-476-4121.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with a size standard of 500 employees, restricting competition to qualifying small businesses. Howell Laboratories Inc., located in Bridgton, Maine, appears to be the incumbent contractor as the sole source manufacturer for these specialized components that serve as direct replacements for existing brand name equipment. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the solicitation documents, the procurement involves two distinct line items for critical medical equipment components. The place of performance is Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington, where the components will be delivered FOB Destination. The original required delivery date mentioned in the sole source justification was May 1, 2025, though this appears to reference an earlier procurement cycle, and current delivery timelines will be determined by contractor lead times submitted with their quotes.
