T-AH Class Flux Drive

The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command issued a combined synopsis and solicitation for the assembly and delivery of flux drive systems for T-AH class hospital ships. Quotes are due by January 19, 2024 and shall be submitted electronically to the contracting officer's representative. Evaluation will be based on price and technical factors, and the resulting contract is anticipated to be firm-fixed price. The solicitation requests assembly complete and inline coupling units in accordance with the attached CLIN schedule for delivery to the Norfolk, VA warehouse by July 15, 2024.

There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. A justification and approval document seeks approval for award of a sole source purchase order, not to exceed $2 million, to Tri-Tec Manufacturing for the flux drive systems. As the original equipment manufacturer, only Tri-Tec can meet the requirement to provide both the variable speed drive and magnetic coupling components for the specialized flux drive control system used on the air conditioning sea water pumps of T-AH class hospital ships. Performance will be at the contractor's facility.
