    Description

    The Department of Defense, through the Military Sealift Command (MSC) Norfolk, is seeking to procure Main Propulsion Diesel Engines (MPDE) and associated transportation devices, specifically targeting the needs of the Expeditionary Fast Transport (EPF) Class ships. The procurement involves a sole-source purchase order to MTU America for 80 MPDE cylinder units and their transportation cases, justified under 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(1) due to MTU being the only responsible source for these critical components. This procurement is essential for maintaining the operational reliability and safety of the EPF Class ships, as non-OEM parts would necessitate extensive redesigns and pose significant risks. Interested vendors should submit their quotes by August 18, 2025, with delivery expected by September 30, 2025, to Norfolk, VA. For further inquiries, contact Maurice Hawkins at maurice.l.hawkins.civ@us.navy.mil or call 564-226-5421.

    Combined_Synopsis_Solicitation 25Q7042.docx
    This document is a combined synopsis/solicitation notice (N3220525Q7042) from the Military Sealift Command for commercial products, specifically MPDE Power Packs and associated transportation and preservation materials. The solicitation is a Request for Quotes (RFQ) and will result in a firm-fixed price purchase order awarded to ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS AMERICA, INC. as a sole source vendor. Key details include a NAICS code of 336999 and PSC/FSC of 8150. The required delivery is FOB Destination by September 30, 2025, at Norfolk, VA. Quotes are due by August 18, 2025, 12:00 PM EST, via email to maurice.l.hawkins.civ@us.navy.mil. Evaluation will consider technical capability and price.

    MTU Sole Source Justification_Redacted.pdf
    The Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command (MSC) Norfolk, intends to award a sole-source purchase order to MTU America, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), for Main Propulsion Diesel Engines (MPDE) model 20V8000M71L. This action, justified under 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(1) due to the OEM being the only responsible source, is for 80 MPDE cylinder units and their transportation cases, valued at $XXX.xx and funded by fiscal year 2025 Navy Working Capital Funds. The rationale for sole-source procurement is that the Expeditionary Fast Transport (EPF) Class ships are built specifically for these MTU engines; using non-OEM parts would require a costly and time-consuming multi-year redesign of structural elements, posing mission-critical and personnel safety risks. Maintaining class configuration and interchangeability with OEM parts ensures reliability and compliance with regulatory requirements. MSC lacks the proprietary manufacturing and technical information to evaluate non-OEM components. MTU America has been the sole-source OEM under a recently expired IDIQ contract. The government will post a sole-source synopsis and solicitation, and the cost has been determined fair and reasonable. MSC currently has no plans to allow non-OEM suppliers for future contracts given the critical nature of these parts.
