USNS CESAR CHAVEZ OHE

The Navy’s Military Sealift Command (MSC) Norfolk requires an urgent, single‑source acquisition of certified Shipboard Ordnance Handling Equipment (OHE) to prevent a mission‑critical work stoppage. The item is a brand‑specific, OEM‑controlled piece of critical ship equipment whose failure poses a hazard to the vessel, crew, or environment; therefore, only the NAVSEA‑certified source (or its authorized distributor) may be used. The solicitation is a women‑owned small business (WOSB) set‑aside, rated under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS), and is expected to fall below the simplified acquisition threshold, allowing competition to be limited due to the unusual and compelling urgency. Offerors must submit a firm‑fixed‑price quote that includes unit and extended pricing, discount terms, estimated delivery date, country of origin, and principal place of performance, and must certify that all technical requirements, part numbers, and delivery schedules can be met. Quotes are due 15 March 2026 12:00 PM EST via email to the designated MSC contacts (Torie Cunningham and Tommy Hale). Evaluation will be based on price and technical acceptability, with award to the lowest priced technically acceptable offer. All submissions must comply with FAR clauses 52.212‑1, 52.212‑2, and related DPAS and defense telecommunications restrictions.
