USNS ROBERT E. PEARY Halton Dampers

The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command is seeking to procure Halton Dampers for the USNS ROBERT E. PEARY (T-AKE 5), specifically requesting 7 line items of switch box components manufactured by Halton America. The solicitation (N3220525Q2325) is a Request for Quotes (RFQ) for various switch box components with specific technical specifications, including 316 SS screens, circular connections, and varying dimensional requirements. The government will evaluate quotes based on technical capability and price, with the intent to award to the vendor providing a technically acceptable quote at a fair and reasonable price. Quotes are due on April 15, 2025, at 10:00 AM EDT, with a targeted delivery and acceptance date of July 2, 2025. The procurement is being conducted under NAICS code 332322 for Sheet Metal Work Manufacturing, and the solicitation indicates Halton Group Americas Inc. as the sole source vendor.

This contract is not set aside for small businesses and will result in a firm-fixed price purchase order. The place of performance is the MSC W143 Warehouse in Norfolk, VA, where the dampers will be delivered. Halton Marine Americas is identified as the only approved source for these dampers under the T-alt system, with justification based on critical ship equipment requirements, standardization initiatives, and form/fit/function compatibility. The procurement is specifically for Ventilation Fan Dampers critical to all AKE Vessels, with the current system configuration precluding the installation of alternative materials. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement appears to be under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and focuses on a targeted, specialized equipment replacement for a specific naval vessel.
