USNS WASHINGTON CHAMBERS Phoenix Lighting

The Military Sealift Command, under the Department of the Navy, is soliciting quotes for 100 units of HAZ Rated LED Fixture cargo hold lighting equipment (vendor part number RLED2DF40KH) for the USNS Washington Chambers vessel. The procurement requires firm fixed-price quotations that include shipping costs, with offerors obligated to confirm technical specifications match requirements, identify country of product origin, and certify domestic end product status in compliance with Buy American provisions. The solicitation incorporates multiple Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses covering critical safety items, item unique identification requirements, and wide area workflow payment instructions. Award will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable quoter based on the evaluation criteria outlined in the solicitation documents. The quote due date is April 22, 2026, at 10:00 AM, with all submissions required via email in Adobe or Microsoft Office format to contracting officer Colin Edick and the designated contract specialist.

This procurement is set aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), though the underlying justification for the acquisition documents a sole-source or limited-source determination based on standardization requirements and compatibility with existing Phoenix Brand Lighting equipment currently installed on the USNS Washington Chambers and other T-AKE Class vessels. The Phoenix Lighting model RLED-2-DF-40-HV-HAZ-MILS has been determined as the only responsible source capable of satisfying the Government's needs as direct replacement parts. Delivery of all 100 units is required by June 1, 2026, to the Military Sealift Command BATS facility in San Diego, California (DoDAAC: N40443). While no specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the solicitation notice, the acquisition does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. The lighting equipment falls under NAICS code 335139 (Electric Lamp Bulb and Other Lighting Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC code 6230 (Electric Portable and Hand Lighting Equipment).
