Inflatable Shaft Seal

The Naval Supply (NAVSUP) Systems Command, Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville (FLCJ), FL intends to issue a single-source award utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures to Wartsila Defense, Inc. for one (1) Inflatable Shaft Seal as required by the Southeast Regional Maintenance Center (SERMC) in Mayport, Florida. Wartsila Defense, Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) only authorized representative for the Inflatable Shaft Seal. This authorization is made on an exclusive basis for both parties and it foresees that Wartsila Defense, Inc. provides parts and technical services for the Shaft Seal. The validity period of this authorization is indefinite until mutually agreed otherwise between parties. An award to any other source would jeopardize compatibility with existing equipment and/or result in substantial duplication of cost or additional costs to Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, in addition to unacceptable delays in meeting the Governments requirements. The applicable North American Industrial Classification System Code (NAICS) code that these items fall under is 339991, with a size standard of 500 Employees. The notice of intent is for information purposes only. This notice does not constitute a request for a proposal, request for quote or an invitation to bid. All sources eligible to provide the requirement must respond in writing. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly articulate the ability to provide this requirement as outlined above. A request for documentation will not be considered as an affirmative response. If no responses are received, within two (2) calendar days after publication of this notice, to the effect that comparable items are available, and that this is more advantageous to the Government than obtaining this product through a single-source contract, then a sole source acquisition award will be made. Response to this notice is to be sent to [email protected].
