    The Department of the Navy, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD), has issued a Request for Information (RFI) regarding the procurement of Steam Propulsion Plant Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) hardware components from Elliott Manufacturing for the Model 44BH-2 Forced Draft Blower (FDB) Rotors and associated overhaul kits. The intention is to acquire these components exclusively from Kampi Component Company, Inc., as they are the sole U.S. Government distributor for Elliott Manufacturing, per FAR 6.302-1, which states that only one source is adequate for the requirement. This RFI is primarily for market research to gather information to inform procurement strategies, rather than a formal solicitation. Responses to the RFI must detail the ability to provide the requisite components and must be submitted electronically by September 23, 2024. All submissions will become government property and will not be compensated. The government emphasizes that this is not a promise for future contracts and is simply a mechanism to explore potential options in the marketplace. It concludes by noting that all proprietary information will be treated confidentially and will not be disclosed without permission.
    The Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for the refurbishment and procurement of the LHD-1 Class Forced Draft Blower rotor and related overhaul kits by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD). This contract requires non-personal services and establishes no employer-employee relationship between the U.S. Government and contractor personnel, ensuring clarity of responsibilities and obligations. The scope includes support for the Fleet related to the Steam Critical Spares Program, focusing on engineering, inspection, maintenance, and logistics for Steam Propulsion Plant equipment. The contractor is tasked with procuring new Elliot FDB rotor units and overhaul kits, which include comprehensive lists of required materials and parts. Additionally, the contractor must adhere to numerous applicable documents and regulations, develop a Commonality and Standardization Plan, and implement a parts obsolescence program. Security requirements, including the protection of critical information and controlled unclassified information (CUI), are emphasized, alongside operations security. The entire project will be performed at the contractor’s facility, highlighting a collaborative approach to support the U.S. Navy's operational capabilities and maintain critical systems.
