USNS BRUNSWICK Reduction Gear Coolers

The Military Sealift Command seeks quotes for two reduction gear lube oil coolers required for the USNS Brunswick. The coolers must be manufactured by ZF Group North American Operations Inc., as the original equipment manufacturer, due to proprietary technical data and expertise required to maintain safety and equipment reliability for the EPF class vessel. Quotes are due by April 17, 2020 and must provide for delivery of the coolers to the specified Navy warehouse by August 24, 2020. Award will be a firm-fixed-price purchase order evaluated on price alone, with various FAR provisions incorporated related to small business participation and required representations and certifications.

Delivery location will be the specified Navy warehouse in support of the USNS Brunswick's propulsion system, with a period of performance ending August 24, 2020 for the two coolers solicited at a total value under the simplified acquisition threshold.
