USNS ROBERT E. PEARY Backing Rings

The Military Sealift Command seeks quotes to procure nine backing rings for one of the main propulsion diesel engines aboard the USNS Robert E. Peary. Quotes are due by October 2020 for a firm-fixed price contract award with delivery by December 2020. Quotes must include unit pricing, extended pricing, estimated delivery timelines, and technical specifications demonstrating the parts meet requirements. Evaluation will consider price, delivery schedule, and technical acceptability of the items offered.

There is no set-aside designation for this requirement. The NAICS code is 333911 and covers marine propulsion equipment. The incumbent is Fairbanks Morse Engine, as they and Motor-Services-Hugo-Stamp are the only authorized suppliers that can provide the backing rings with associated technical data to ensure engine reliability, safety, and warranty compliance. The procurement justification cites both unusual and compelling urgency and lack of other suppliers. The place of performance will be aboard the USNS Robert E. Peary.
