Firemain Discharge Piping

The Naval Supply Systems Command is soliciting quotations for replacement of firemain discharge piping on the USS TRIPOLI (LHA-7) at Naval Base Sasebo, Japan, with proposals due August 10, 2026. This procurement has already been awarded to MOTOYAMA CO.,LTD.; however, the source documents indicate an active solicitation posting and materials as of July 15, 2026.

Award eligibility is restricted to contractors holding a valid Master Ship Repair Agreement (MSRA) or Agreement for Boat Repair (ABR) in the Japan Region with the U.S. Navy—a critical gatekeeping constraint. Place of performance is Sasebo, Nagasaki, Japan. The NAICS code is 336611, Ship Building and Repairing; PSC is J999, Non-Nuclear Ship Repair (West).

The solicitation covers four separate firm-fixed-price job orders for firemain discharge piping replacement on Fire Pump Nos. 13, 14, 15, and 16. Work scope includes removal and installation of copper-nickel piping ranging from approximately 9 to 35 feet, hydrostatic testing at 296 (+6/−0) PSIG, and operating pressure tests with zero allowable leakage. Work must comply with MIL-STD-1627 Rev C for pipe bending. Critical restrictions prohibit onboard hot work in ammunition magazine areas; Fire Pump No. 15 and No. 16 piping employ LOKRING fittings to eliminate onboard hot work. Period of performance runs August 17, 2026 through November 30, 2026, with production completion targeted October 2, 2026. Anticipated award date is July 24, 2026.

The government furnishes all materials, including piping, valves, fittings, welding consumables, and fasteners.
