About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command issued a Special Notice on January 5, 2026, regarding the procurement of messenger reels for the USNS Henry J. Kaiser. This is a sole source award opportunity intended for Schoellhorn-Albrecht Machine Co. Inc., the original equipment manufacturer of the required equipment. The notice falls under the Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing NAICS category (332312) and is classified under the Deck Machinery product service code (2030). No set-aside provisions apply to this procurement. The opportunity represents a direct replacement parts acquisition for HAWSER REEL equipment supporting unrep repair parts for the T-AO 187 class ships.
The procurement is being conducted under FAR 13.106 simplified acquisition threshold guidelines, which permit single-source solicitation when circumstances warrant exclusive manufacturer requirements. The primary objective is to obtain new manufactured replacement messenger reels as direct replacements for existing equipment to maintain the fleet configuration baseline. The submission deadline for this opportunity is January 9, 2026, providing a four-day window for proposal submission. Eligibility is effectively limited to Schoellhorn-Albrecht Machine Co. Inc. as the sole source provider, given the exclusive licensing agreement and brand-specific requirements documented in the justification memorandum. This acquisition is not designated as critical ship equipment but is necessary to sustain operational readiness across the T-AO 187 class vessel fleet.
Notice text
The Government intends to make a sole source award to Schoellhorn-Albrecht Machine Co. Inc. to provide messenger reels based upon reference documentation for the USNS HENRY J KAISER.
