TSV5 Vindicator, Sole Source

The Naval Supply Systems Command is soliciting a sole source procurement of a liquid cooled delta rectifier module for a TSV-5 Vindicator bow thruster drive from General Electric. The Navy requires delivery of one 690V 1100A rectifier to Virginia Beach by April 1, 2024. Responses are due by January 25, 2024 to the Naval Supply Systems Command in Norfolk for consideration. The justification cites FAR provisions allowing for sole source procurement under simplified acquisition thresholds.

There is no set-aside designated for this requirement. The NAICS code is 333618 for other engine equipment manufacturing and the small business size standard is 1,500 employees. The solicitation indicates the sole source justification is for renewal of subscriptions to GE for the TSV5 Vindicator bow thruster T2 drive. Interested parties may submit quotes by January 25, 2024 but the Navy intends to make award solely to GE as the incumbent for this procurement for Fleet, VA.
