About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command is seeking 20 Elliot MK IV DL USCG DL Life Rafts with 25-man capacity for the USNS COMFORT T-AH Class vessel. This procurement is being conducted as a single-source acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold, justified by the critical nature of the equipment, standardization requirements with existing T-AH Class vessels (USNS Mercy and USNS Comfort), and proprietary rights held by Elliot. The solicitation requires brand name Elliot Life Rafts only, with quoters needing to provide price quotes, technical submissions including part number verification, and product origin information. The evaluation will be based on technical capability and price, with award going to the lowest-priced technically acceptable quoter. Quotes are due September 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM EDT via email submission, with delivery and acceptance required by December 22, 2025.
This procurement is not set aside for small businesses and operates under NAICS code 336999 (All Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing). Elliot appears to be the sole source contractor, holding the proprietary rights and drawings for these specialized life rafts that serve as shorebased spares for critical ship operations. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed price purchase order, though no specific dollar value is disclosed in the solicitation documents. The 20 life rafts must be delivered to the MSC W143 Warehouse in Norfolk, Virginia, with specific packaging requirements per military standards and duty-free entry documentation. Performance will occur within the United States, with the equipment ultimately destined for the USNS COMFORT vessel as replacement inventory for this critical safety equipment.
