Intent to sole source, OEM in-MAR systems - wiper motors

NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound is seeking a sole source procurement of wiper motors for the Military Sealift Command (MSC), specifically for the USNS Alan Shepard (TAKE-3) vessel. The solicitation is for a firm fixed-price supply type contract to purchase 6 Window Electric Wipers (PN Q034505-01 R2) and 2 Motors (PN IM-TAKE-GA65). The government will evaluate quotes based on technical acceptability, vendor past performance, and price, with the intent to award to the vendor providing the best overall value. Potential vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and comply with base access requirements through the Defense Biometric Identification System. The solicitation closes on March 17, 2025, at 11:45 PM PST, with all questions to be submitted to Crista Carrier via email. Vendors must also be prepared to submit electronic invoices through Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF).

The procurement is unrestricted, with no specific small business set-aside, and will be performed within the United States. The contract seeks to procure marine equipment classified under NAICS category 336390 (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing) and PSC category 2090 (Miscellaneous Ship And Marine Equipment). Delivery of the wiper motors is requested by June 9, 2025, indicating a relatively short procurement timeline. While specific award value details are not explicitly stated, the solicitation suggests this is a targeted procurement for specific marine equipment needed by the Military Sealift Command. The procurement is being handled by the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, a defense agency responsible for managing naval logistics and supply chain requirements. The sole source nature of the procurement implies that there may be limited or no alternative suppliers for these specific marine components.
