The Military Sealift Command is issuing a Sources Sought Notice to identify eligible small businesses capable of providing Tranter Inc. JW Cooler Plate Packs for use aboard the USNS JOHN LENTHALL (T-AO 189). This notice serves as a tool for market research rather than a solicitation or request for proposals. The required items include two specific models of JW Cooler Plate Packs, with a total estimated delivery to Norfolk, VA. The anticipated solicitation release date is January 8, 2025, and interested parties must submit a brief capabilities package by January 2, 2025, which should include company profile details, the work facility, and any partnership agreements with larger firms. All small businesses, including those owned by service-disabled veterans and certified HUBZone entities, are encouraged to participate. The information gleaned from this notice will aid the government in determining the appropriate acquisition method and whether a small business set-aside is warranted. Responses are to be submitted via email, as traditional mail and fax are not accepted. This initiative underscores the government’s focus on fostering small business participation in federal contracting opportunities.
