    The Military Sealift Command's solicitation (RFQ N3220524Q2136) seeks quotes for the purchase of an Actuator Assembly, with a quantity of one unit, due by 10:00 AM EDT on September 18, 2024. This procurement falls under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 336611 for shipbuilding and repair. The delivery point for the item is at Norfolk, VA, with an acceptance date of March 4, 2025. Offerors must comply with specific submission requirements, including providing pricing, estimated delivery times, and technical specifications. The government may negotiate with bidders and will award to the lowest priced, technically acceptable quote. Compliance with various federal regulations and clauses is mandatory, including those related to telecommunications and labor standards. Additionally, the request emphasizes thorough documentation and adherence to military packaging and marking standards to ensure all items are properly delivered and identified.
    This memorandum outlines the justification for using other than full and open competition for acquiring an actuator assembly under the simplified acquisition threshold. Citing FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), it declares that only one source will be solicited due to circumstances necessitating exclusivity, such as urgency and brand-name requirement. The actuator assembly, specifically the Emerson Process Management Valve (P/N: Q5N2-3C/75570Q), is a necessary repair part for existing equipment, with a required delivery date of March 4, 2025. The acquisition circumvents competition because it involves a brand-name sole source, mandated by standardization practices under COMSCINST 4790.3, ensuring compatibility with existing fleet configurations. The document emphasizes that without this specific brand, operational continuity and safety standards for critical ship equipment could be compromised. Overall, the memorandum serves to validate the rationale for selecting a single source for procurement amidst stipulated regulatory guidelines.
    The Military Sealift Command has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation notice (RFQ N3220524Q2136) for commercial products and services, seeking quotes for an electro-mechanical actuator with specified part and serial numbers. This procurement is not set aside for small businesses and will follow standard acquisition regulations under FAR and DFARS guidelines. The quotation must include pricing, delivery terms, and technical details as outlined in the solicitation. A firm-fixed price purchase order is anticipated, with delivery required at a designated Norfolk, VA location by March 4, 2025. Quotes must be submitted electronically by September 20, 2024, with specific formatting requirements. Evaluation will focus on price and technical compliance, favoring the lowest priced technically acceptable quotation. The notice details numerous compliance regulations, including labor standards and prohibitions on contracting with certain entities, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in the procurement process. The document represents a standard government procurement process within the military sector, highlighting requirements for quality assurance, packaging, and timely communication with contracting officers for a successful acquisition.
