Intent to sole source - OEM eaton - replacement buckets

NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound is issuing a sole-source solicitation on behalf of the Military Sealift Command for the procurement of a specific OEM EATON replacement bucket with detailed technical specifications. The contract is a firm fixed-price supply type with a focus on acquiring a single replacement bucket for the USNS Carl Brashear (TAKE 7), categorized under NAICS code 335314 for Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing. Technical evaluation will be conducted using FAR 13.106, which will assess technical acceptability, vendor past performance, and pricing. The solicitation requires vendors to submit technical specification sheets, with failure to do so resulting in a non-responsive offer. Key dates include a submission deadline of February 6, 2025, at 11:45 PM PST, with all questions to be submitted to Crista Carrier one day prior to the offer due date.

The procurement opportunity is not designated with any specific small business set-aside, though the original document indicates it was initially structured as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) solicitation. The required delivery timeline is 84 calendar days after contract award, with a specific Required Delivery Date of May 2, 2025. Delivery will be made to the Military Sealift Command BATS facility located in San Diego, California. The specific replacement part number is FZ956LEASC13S22S20R29R27R25P17P16P19P15P58Z1Z2, indicating a highly precise and specialized component. While no specific contract value is mentioned, the procurement is for a single replacement bucket, suggesting a targeted, potentially lower-value acquisition focused on maintaining critical maritime equipment.
