The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is procuring 8 gallons of Halocarbon 27S oil, specifically 1 carboy of 36 kg (5 gallons) and 3 bottles of 7.5 kg (1 gallon each), for use in an oil change on the Naval Experimental Diving Unit's (NEDU) divers mixed gas transfer compressor at the Ocean Simulation Facility. This is a brand-specific procurement justified by the unique certification requirements of the facility's life support systems, which mandate Halocarbon oils for safe operation in oxygen-enriched atmospheres and gas mixes. Quotes must be submitted via email to kaitlin.h.summerville.civ@us.navy.mil on or before Tuesday, December 23, 2025, at 11:00 AM Central Time, with no late submissions accepted. The evaluation will be based on best value to the government, considering price, delivery, quality, and past performance, and vendors must provide their CAGE code and lead time with their quotations. Vendors must also be capable of invoicing through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system and should include shipping as a separate line item if not included in the quoted price.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set Aside, limiting eligibility to qualified small businesses. No incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents, as this represents a competitive opportunity among distributors offering Halocarbon brand products. While the specific dollar value is not disclosed, the documents indicate the acquisition total exceeds micro-purchase thresholds but remains below simplified acquisition limits. The procurement requires urgent completion to avoid delays in mission-critical diving and life support testing operations. Performance of work will take place at Panama City Beach, Florida 32407, with operational hours for NSWC-PCD and NEDU limited to 0830–1500 Monday through Friday, and delivery vehicles must gain base access prior to 1430.
