Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, specifically MSCHQ NORFOLK, is soliciting proposals for Sea Chest Anodes for the USNS MEDGAR EVERS.

Set-Aside
This is an Unrestricted acquisition. However, a Sole Source Justification (SSJ) memorandum dated April 21, 2026, explains the decision to procure from a single source (XYLEM/EVOQUA) for the Chloropac system due to standardization requirements to maintain the fleet configuration baseline on T-AKE CLASS vessels.
Evaluation
Proposals will be evaluated based on Technical compliance (parts must meet requirements, including delivery dates and part numbers) and Price (evaluated for reasonableness).
