Encoder

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is soliciting bids for the procurement of six Dynapar encoders that will be permanently installed on cranes at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. The specific encoder models required are RT61024LS2C, RT81024LV152C, RT81024LV072C, and RT81024LV092C, representing four different line items with quantities totaling six units. This is a sole source procurement, meaning only Dynapar encoders are acceptable as direct replacements for existing equipment per Navy Crane Center Alteration N4523A-25-079, with material substitutions explicitly prohibited. Bidders must submit a signed and completed solicitation via email to rosalie.aranzanso@dla.mil with all applicable boxes in clause 52.204-24(2)(d) checked to be deemed responsive. The solicitation deadline is January 16, 2026, with late bids not considered for award, and bidders must provide the manufacturer's name, country of origin, and lead time information as part of their submission. If NIST SP 800-171 implementation is required, contractors must possess a current assessment no more than three years old, though commercial off-the-shelf items are exempt from this requirement.

This contract opportunity is set aside exclusively for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns with a 100% small business set-aside designation. Walker Industrial is identified as the authorized dealer for Dynapar encoders in this procurement. The contract will be awarded on a Firm Fixed Price basis, though no specific budget ceiling or estimated value is disclosed in the solicitation notice. Delivery is required by January 27, 2026, to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington, where inspection and acceptance will also occur. Bidders should note that the solicitation must be completed in its entirety, with incomplete submissions or those with unturned solicitation documents deemed non-responsive. Additional contracting requirements include compliance with Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) payment instructions and Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) requirements for base access, along with provisions for item unique identification and traceability documentation.
