USNS MERCY Goulds Pumps

The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is procuring 17 Goulds brand pump units across 9 different line items for the USNS MERCY T-AH Class vessel through a sole-source Request for Quotes. The procurement includes various specialized pumps such as forward fire pumps, main fire pumps, chilled water pumps, and raw sewage transfer pumps, all manufactured by Goulds to replace existing equipment on the hospital ship. This acquisition is restricted to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts due to the critical nature of these pumps for ship systems including fire suppression, air conditioning, and engine room cooling, where non-OEM components could impact ship readiness, mission performance, and safety systems. The evaluation will be based on technical capability and price to select the most advantageous quote for the government. Quotes are due by September 24, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT and must be submitted via email to the designated contracting officer.

This solicitation is not set aside for small businesses and is being awarded as a sole-source procurement to Semitorr Group (McKenna Engineering), which has been identified as the sole authorized distributor for Goulds pumps in the San Diego, California geographical region. The estimated contract value has been redacted from the available documentation, and the procurement will be funded using fiscal year 2025 Navy working capital funds. The contract requires delivery and acceptance of all 17 pump units by July 27, 2026, at the N40443 MSC SSU BATS location in San Diego, California. The government anticipates issuing a single firm-fixed price purchase order for this procurement, which falls under NAICS code 333914 for Measuring, Dispensing, and Other Pumping Equipment Manufacturing.
