USNS COMFORT A-60 Fire Doors

The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command seeks procurement of two V-TYPE A60-rated fume-tight swing doors for the USNS COMFORT (T-AH 20), with offers due September 16, 2026 at 10:00 AM Eastern Time. The procurement is set aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB).

Line Item 0001 requires one right-hand reverse (RHR) door with a 6-8 X 3 clear opening, stainless steel matte finish, and S2/F6/B1 frame configuration. Line Item 0002 requires one left-hand reverse (LHR) door with the same clear opening and finish, S1/F6/F6 frame configuration, and hurricane latch with pad lock provisions. Both are priced on a firm fixed-price basis. Deliveries are required by February 19, 2027 to MSC Warehouse, Norfolk, Virginia (DoDAAC N32205). NAICS code is 332321, Metal Window and Door Manufacturing; PSC code is 2040, Marine Hardware and Hull Items.

The contracting officer notes in a justification memorandum that Deansteel Machinery Company is the only ABS/USCG-approved source on the approved Technical Approval Letter (T-ALT) previously installed on the USNS Mercy. The solicitation documents indicate that deviation from the T-ALT would require ABS re-approval, potentially delaying procurement for months. The doors are intended for the USNS COMFORT JP5 Testing Station and Flight Deck modifications. Inspection and acceptance will occur at both the contractor's facility and destination per DFARS 252.211-7003 item identification requirements. Final acceptance occurs at the MSC Program Management office in Norfolk, with Danielle Grisson (N72 Project Engineer) as the primary contact. The contracting officer is Colin Edick (5642261232).
