Quick Summary

The Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command (MSC), is soliciting proposals for the reactivation of Main Propulsion Diesel Engines (MPDEs) for EPF Class Vessels (FGRR Ships), including the USNS BRUNSWICK. This is a Small Business set-aside acquisition for Fiscal Year 2026. The contract will be a Firm Fixed Price award, with quotes due by May 22, 2026.

Scope of Work

This effort involves placing four MTU Detroit Diesel Model 20V8000M71L MPDEs into a layup status and subsequently reactivating them to full operational condition. Key services include:

  • Layup and Reactivation: For MPDEs on USNS APALACHICOLA, YUMA, NEWPORT, CARSON CITY, TRENTON, BRUNSWICK, and BURLINGTON.
  • Material Provision: Contractor Furnished Material (CFM) such as O-rings, gaskets, and filters; Government Furnished Material (GFM) including specific lube oil and engine coolant additive.
  • Technical Services: Provision of OEM authorized field service representatives to perform all work and testing, coordination with ship's force for lockout/tagout, and disposal of liquids.
  • Reporting & Documentation: Submission of condition reports, "as released" reports, and electronic copies of revised technical documentation (drawings, manuals, service bulletins, parts lists, test data).
  • Restoration: Painting, priming, and restoring disturbed surfaces, and renewing damaged lagging.

Contract Details

  • Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price.
  • Period of Performance: Each line item has a period of performance from June 8, 2026, to September 30, 2026. The Statement of Work indicates flexibility, with work potentially starting as early as May 11, 2026.
  • Set-Aside: This is a Small Business set-aside. The NAICS code is 811310 with a $14 million size standard.
  • Place of Performance: Work will be conducted in the Norfolk, VA area (for USNS APALACHICOLA, BRUNSWICK, BURLINGTON) and Port of Orange, TX (for USNS YUMA, NEWPORT, CARSON CITY, TRENTON).

Submission & Evaluation

  • Submission: Quotes must be submitted via email to the contracting officer and contract specialist listed in block 9 of the SF1449, in Adobe or Microsoft Office format.
  • Evaluation Factors: Quotes will be evaluated based on Technical acceptability (meeting solicitation requirements, delivery dates, terms) and Price reasonableness.
  • Special Conditions: The Government may negotiate and seek quote revisions. While a Small Business set-aside, the Government may issue a purchase order to ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS as the sole source vendor if they provide a technically acceptable quote at a fair and reasonable price. Vendor's standard commercial terms may lead to rejection.
  • Access Requirements: Offerors must complete SECNAV 5512/1 for Navy Installation Access and provide a ship access list at least four days prior to site visits.
  • Payment: Payment requests and receiving reports must be submitted electronically through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system.
