Steam Trap Material List

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command (Joint Munitions Command) is seeking to procure a specific Steam Trap Material List for the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant. The solicitation requires the procurement of 32 Armstrong Inverted Bucket Traps (in 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch NPT sizes) and 10 Spirax-Sarco Thermostatic Steam Traps (in 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch NPT sizes). All contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and submit quotes on a signed solicitation with detailed technical specifications. The evaluation will follow a "low price, responsible offer" method, with strict requirements that only Armstrong International and Spirax-Sarco branded products will be accepted. Potential offerors must submit their quotes electronically to contract specialist Casey P. Pratt by April 2, 2025, at 10:00 AM Central Time, with any questions needing to be submitted no later than 72 hours prior to the solicitation close date.

The solicitation is set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 332919, with a size standard of 750 employees. The procurement is a firm-fixed-price contract for one complete kit, with delivery scheduled for April 28, 2025, to Warehouse 8 at the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant in McAlester, OK 74501. The contract will be funded through Operations & Maintenance, Army for Fiscal Year 2025, and is justified based on the specific technical requirements of the steam system components. Precise pressure and temperature ratings are critical, and MCAAP engineers have determined that alternative parts could potentially disrupt current system operations, potentially causing production halts or increased labor costs. The government will use price analysis techniques, comparing quotations, previous purchases, independent government estimates, and industry comparisons to ensure fair and reasonable pricing for the required steam trap materials.
