Tecnadyne Thrusters

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT), under the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, is soliciting quotations for two Tecnadyne Thrusters—one right-hand and one left-hand model—with specific part numbers 561-260-MCIL6M-1.0-0850-AL-SCLX-SM-RRSBK and 561-260-MCIL6M-1.0-0850-AL-SCLX-SM-RLSBK. The procurement is classified as a brand-name acquisition with no substitutions allowed, as the government has determined that only Tecnadyne possesses the proprietary rights to meet the project's specifications. Offerors must demonstrate that items are US-shipped, new products from original equipment manufacturer authorized channels, and if resellers, must provide proof of OEM authorized reseller status. The award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis using a firm fixed price contract, with past performance and negative Supplier Performance Risk System records potentially rendering quotes technically unacceptable. The final deadline for quotation submission is January 27, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST, with quotes to be submitted electronically to Maria Diaz-Sotomayor, and quoted prices must remain valid for at least 60 days.

This solicitation is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 335312 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. No incumbent contractors or award values are specified in the solicitation documents. The procurement involves a total quantity of two thrusters, with a required delivery schedule of 28 weeks from the date of award. Delivery will be made on an F.O.B. Destination basis to Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island, with all shipping charges to be included in the quoted price. The solicitation has been amended three times since its original posting on January 6, 2026, with the most recent amendment on January 21, 2026, extending the response deadline to accommodate industry questions regarding the prototype remotely operated vehicle for which these thrusters are intended.
