IDIQ CONTRACT FOR FMD PARTS CONTRACT 70Z08026SFMDIDIQ1
Summary
AI-generated · Mar 12, 2026Overhaul parts kits for Fairbanks Morse ALCO 251 engines are required as inventory and direct-delivery items to support overhaul and maintenance of WMEC 210/270 cutters and the POLAR STAR icebreaker’s main diesel engines. The government does not possess the proprietary technical specifications, drawings, provisioning data, or special tools necessary to produce these kits, which are proprietary to the OEM, and therefore intends to award a sole-source, requirements-type contract to the original equipment manufacturer.
Interested sources may submit capabilities demonstrating the ability to provide genuine OEM supplies/kits and access to the necessary OEM technical information. Submissions should include (1) evidence that overhaul kits have been satisfactorily provided to the OEM or Government in the past, and (2) a written letter signed by the OEM confirming the supplier’s authority to supply OEM-made parts and access to required technical data. Responses are due by the specified deadline; the government is not responsible for any costs incurred. Solicitation documents will be posted on SAM.gov; no paper packages will be issued.
