About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract to DEFENSE MARITIME SOLUTIONS/WARTSILA for a stern tube seal maintenance material order. The contract, identified as N4044326Q0009, pertains to the USNS KAISER (T-AO 187), which is part of the Navy's T-AKE Class of ships operated under Military Sealift Command. This Special Notice was posted on January 13, 2026, and falls under the Machine Shops NAICS category and Deck Machinery PSC category. The Government has explicitly stated that this notice of intent is not a request for quotes, and the decision not to compete this procurement will remain solely within the Government's discretion.
The primary objective of this sole-source procurement is to fulfill a 2.5-year maintenance contract for the stern tube seal system installed on the USNS KAISER. Interested parties should note that the due date for any submissions or inquiries is January 19, 2026, providing a six-day window for response. This is a non-competitive acquisition, meaning that only the designated sole-source vendor is anticipated to receive the award; however, the Government reserves the right to reconsider this determination based on any responses received to the Special Notice. No set-aside provisions have been applied to this opportunity, and the contract focuses specifically on maintaining critical deck machinery components essential to the vessel's operational readiness. Contractors seeking to challenge the sole-source justification or present alternative proposals must do so within the stated timeframe.
