Great Lakes EPACT SICLOS Lab Strainer Basket Replacement

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is soliciting replacement strainer basket assemblies for laboratory equipment at the Great Lakes EPACT SICLOS facility. The procurement specifically requires two types of basket assemblies: one for a 2-inch Model 104BM Duplex Strainer and another for a 1-1/4-inch Model 104BM Duplex Strainer, both featuring stainless steel construction with 13/16-inch perforations, 80 removable mesh liners, and magnetic shrouded designs. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 332911 for Industrial Valve Manufacturing and PSC category J069 for maintenance and repair of training aids and devices. Based on the solicitation number N0018925QR1117, this appears to be a firm-fixed-price procurement with evaluation likely focused on technical compliance and price reasonableness. The solicitation was posted on September 5, 2025, with responses due by September 11, 2025, providing only six days for proposal preparation and submission.

This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside, restricting participation to qualified small business concerns. The solicitation documents include technical specifications and requirements detailed in the provided PDF files, though no incumbent contractor information is readily apparent from the notice. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the public notice, the specialized nature of the magnetic strainer baskets suggests this is likely a lower-dollar value procurement for replacement parts. The place of performance is specified as 530 Farragut Avenue Suite B, Great Lakes, Illinois 60088, indicating the equipment is located at this Naval facility. The tight timeline between posting and due date suggests this may be an urgent operational requirement for maintaining critical laboratory strainer equipment at the Great Lakes location.
