About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command is seeking to procure specific stern tube maintenance materials for the USNS ROBERT F. KENNEDY (T-AO 208), with a focus on sole source procurement from Simplex Americas LLC. The solicitation (N3220525Q2363) requires two each of Aft Chrome Split Non-Stand Size 670, Fwd Liner/Cast Iron Split Size 630, Aft Seal System, and Fwd Seal System. Quotes will be evaluated based on technical capability and pricing, with submissions due by June 13, 2025 at 4:00 PM via email to Austin Amory. The government will issue a firm-fixed price purchase order, and vendors must provide detailed pricing, technical specifications, part numbers, delivery estimates, and country of product origin. Quotes must also comply with specific packaging, marking requirements, and include Navy installation and ship access documentation.
The procurement is not set aside for small businesses and falls under NAICS category 339991 for Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing. Simplex Americas LLC is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the only responsible source for these specialized stern tube parts. The contract is justified under statutory authority 41 U.S.C. 1901 Section 815, which allows for limited competition when only one source exists. The planned delivery and acceptance date is January 08, 2026, with performance located at the N32205 MSC W143 Warehouse in Norfolk, VA. While the exact award value is not specified, the procurement is part of the FY26 Planned Significant Acquisition (PSA) for TAO Class vessels, with the Military Sealift Command maintaining flexibility to assess future competitive opportunities if alternative sources emerge.
