- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. This is not a solicitation or request for quotes and no contract or purchase order will be awarded from this notice. There is no solicitation, specifications or drawings available at this time. Military Sealift Command (MSC) is seeking eligible businesses that can provide Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts and services to support overhaul and repairs for Buffalo Pumps installed onboard T-AKE class dry cargo/ammunition ships. There are thirty-two (32) Buffalo pumps installed on the T-AKEs of various sizes and applications. These pumps serve critical systems including Firemain/sprinkler (8"), Food Waste/Grey Water (2.5"), Freshwater and Saltwater Cooling (16"), Cargo Fuel Transfer (8"), Potable Water (4"), and Bilge/Ballast/Dewatering (10"). Only authorized OEM distributors can supply repair parts and services for the Buffalo Pumps across various applications of the T-AKE class ships. Any deviations from OEM repair parts and services could result in personal injury or equipment failure and damage. Buffalo Pumps serve in most major machinery systems on the T-AKE class ships. Without a fully operational main machinery system, the T-AKE class dry cargo/ammunition ships are unable to achieve MSC Strategic Priority 1, "ships ready for tasking." MSC did not acquire the proprietary information and technical data rights beyond general arrangement drawings thus, MSC does not have manufacturing and technical information required to evaluate and determine whether non-OEM replacement parts or services offered are equivalent to the OEM components and replacement parts and services. All businesses are encouraged to respond to this Sources Sought. The appropriate NAICS Code is 333914 and 811310. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE OR PROPOSAL. It is a market research tool used to determine the availability and adequacy of potential business sources prior to determining the method of acquisition for the parts and services. The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this synopsis. It is requested that interested businesses submit to the contracting office a brief capabilities package demonstrating ability to provide the requested items. This document shall address, as a minimum the following: (1) Company Profile, office location(s), DUNS number, and CAGE Code; (2) Licensing Agreement with Buffalo Pumps; (3) list of related experience on providing parts or servicing this manufacturer's pump systems installed onboard the T-AKE Class Ships.. RESPONSES ARE DUE on Monday, February 26, 2018 by 9:00 AM Eastern Standard Time. Responses shall be sent via e-mail to the following address john.harrison@navy.mil. Fax submissions of the capabilities packages WILL NOT be accepted. Questions or comments regarding this notice may be addressed to John Harrison at the above email address.
