USNS MERCY Goulds Pumps

The Military Sealift Command, under the Department of the Navy, is soliciting quotes for replacement Goulds brand pumps for the USNS MERCY hospital ship (T-AH 19). The procurement includes seven contract line items totaling nine pump units across multiple models, including seawater pumps, chilled water pumps, fire and flushing pumps, oxygen/nitrogen pumps, auxiliary diesel generator seawater pumps, engine room cooling pumps, and raw sewage transfer pumps. All quoted pricing must be firm-fixed-price and include Section 232 tariffs, wood packaging, Department of Defense unique identification markings, and shipping costs to the destination. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 333914 (Measuring, Dispensing, and Other Pumping Equipment Manufacturing) with PSC code 4320. Quotations are due February 12, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST and must be submitted via email to Colin J. Edick at colin.j.edick.civ@us.navy.mil, with delivery required to MSC SSU BATS in San Diego, California by the acceptance date of January 8, 2027.

This is a sole source procurement with no small business set-aside, awarded to McKenna Engineering & Equipment Co. (operating as Semitorr Group), the exclusive authorized distributor of Goulds pumps in the San Diego region. The justification for sole source procurement is based on brand name authority under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as these pumps are direct replacements for existing critical safety equipment on the hospital ship, and McKenna Engineering holds exclusive access to required technical drawings, manuals, and software necessary for proper maintenance and repair. The procurement will be funded with fiscal year 2026 Operations and Maintenance, Navy funds, though the specific award value is not disclosed in the solicitation documents. Vendors must submit unit and extended pricing, total firm-fixed price, discount terms, estimated delivery time, and technical descriptions confirming parts match solicitation requirements, and must provide 48-hour advance notification to MSCPAC_BATS@us.navy.mil prior to delivery. Duty-free entry processing will be handled through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Duty Free Entry module.
