Voulkan couplings

The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command seeks to acquire four Vulkan couplings for the main diesel generators of the USNS Wally Schirra. The couplings are required during repair work scheduled for 2022 to maintain the vessel's propulsion capabilities for fulfilling its primary resupply mission. Quotes are due by May 19, 2021 and will be evaluated based on price and technical acceptability. The solicitation incorporates various FAR clauses and will be issued under number N3220521Q2253.

There is no set-aside designation for this requirement. The place of performance is Naval Station San Diego. As the original equipment manufacturer, American Vulkan Corporation is identified as owning the proprietary data for the couplings. The anticipated award value is below the simplified acquisition threshold. The couplings must be delivered by September 30, 2021. Maintaining standardization on the approved manufacturer's couplings also supports configuration uniformity across the T-AKE class of ships.
