Oil Mist Eliminator Filters for the USNS SUPPLY

The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is seeking to procure six B-27855-L oil mist eliminator filters for the USNS SUPPLY, with a specific requirement for a sole-source procurement from MECS, Inc. due to proprietary rights and standardization across T-AOE class vessels. The solicitation is being issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ N3220525Q2195) under FAR Part 12 for commercial items, with quotes to be submitted by February 28, 2025, at 10:00 AM EDT via email to grant.t.sivertson.civ@us.navy.mil. The evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest priced technically acceptable quoter, with requirements including unit prices, total price, delivery timeframe, technical information to verify parts match specifications, and country of origin. Quotes must demonstrate compliance with the specific MECS, Inc. model B-27855-L filter requirements. The contracting points of contact are Grant Sivertson and Edward Ruhling, who can provide additional information about the solicitation.

There are no specific set-aside designations for this procurement, and the contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price purchase order with FOB Destination delivery required to Norfolk, VA by February 3, 2025. The procurement falls under NAICS category 332321 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC category 2090 (Miscellaneous Ship and Marine Equipment). While the exact dollar value is not specified, the procurement will be conducted under the simplified acquisition threshold. The place of performance is located in Fleet, VA 23511, with the filters intended for use on naval vessels. The sole-source justification is based on MECS, Inc.'s proprietary rights to the drawings and the need for standardization across T-AOE class vessels, which suggests a targeted and specific procurement approach.
