Eaton Mmints MODBUS Translator

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is soliciting quotes for 40 Eaton brand Mmints MODBUS Translator modules, specifically part number PN02022063-1, to replace obsolete components on 450-volt naval switchboards. The procurement requires brand-name Eaton equipment due to unique technical qualifications including compatibility with existing Navy ship switchboards, environmental testing requirements, and form-fit specifications that alternative manufacturers cannot meet without costly modifications. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price arrangement to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offeror who meets all solicitation requirements and maintains proper SAM registration. Questions must be submitted by June 5, 2025, to the contracting officer via email, with quotes due by June 18, 2025, at 5:00 PM through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) or email submission. The government's evaluation will be based on technical acceptability and lowest price among responsible offerors.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 335931 for Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing, restricting participation to qualified small businesses. No incumbent contractors are specifically identified in the solicitation documents, though the brand name justification indicates that Eaton equipment already exists on Navy ships, suggesting potential for repeat business. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the requirement involves 40 units with delivery required by April 30, 2026, to the NSWC Philadelphia Division. The place of performance is Philadelphia, PA 19112, where the modules will undergo inspection and acceptance. The procurement timeline spans approximately 10 months from the quote deadline to required delivery, indicating the strategic nature of these components for naval operations. Market research conducted by the Navy determined that only Eaton's offering meets the stringent technical requirements without necessitating additional shock testing, engineering support, or enclosure modifications that would increase government costs.
