Port PTO Bearing Overhaul_USNS KANAWHA

The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is soliciting quotations for one Pedestal Bearing Overhaul Kit (part number EAGMKIT) required for port propulsion turbine (PTO) bearing maintenance on the USNS KANAWHA. This is a simplified acquisition under firm fixed-price terms, and the solicitation specifies that the kit must be the brand name Geislinger to ensure compatibility with existing fleet equipment and maintain standardization requirements. The contracting officer, Susan Bryant, has determined that only one source is reasonably available, justifying the single-source procurement approach. Evaluation will be based on the lowest priced technically acceptable quoter, with consideration given to brand name specifications. Interested contractors must submit quotes via email in Adobe or Microsoft Office format by May 7, 2026, at 3:00 PM local time, with delivery required by July 31, 2026.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and represents a single-source acquisition with no identified incumbent contractor. The requirement is for one unit of the specified bearing overhaul kit, classified under NAICS 333613 (Rolling Bearing Manufacturing) and PSC 2895 (Miscellaneous Engines and Components). Quotes must include unit price, total firm fixed price, discount terms, estimated delivery time, technical compliance documentation, and identification of the principal place of performance and country of product origin. Performance of the work will take place at the MSC Warehouse at Naval Base Norfolk, Virginia (DoDAAC: N32205), with acceptance and inspection conducted at both the contractor's destination and the government's receiving location. Contractors must comply with multiple FAR and DFARS clauses, including Buy American certification, sustainable products requirements, and prohibitions on covered defense telecommunications equipment.
