The U.S. Navy intends to award a sole-source, one-year contract to McMaster-Carr Supply Co. for a single aircraft drain tube (NSN 1R-1680-LLF02M322-P8) used on the P-8 aircraft, with delivery FOB origin. No technical drawings or data are available, and McMaster-Carr is the only known source as the Original Equipment Manufacturer. The government will consider capability statements or proposals from other responsible sources, but any new supplier must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR), and the procurement will not be delayed for SAR approval. The solicitation is expected to be issued around May 21, 2026, with proposals due by June 21, 2026, and an anticipated award date of August 21, 2026. No budget amount is specified, and the performance location is not explicitly stated beyond the Navy’s Philadelphia support center.

This opportunity involves a U.S. Navy solicitation for supplies under NAICS code 336413, with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. The contract requires a 1-year warranty on supplies from delivery, with a 45-day defect discovery period. Performance location and budget amounts are not specified in the description. The solicitation has been extended by 30 days, though no specific submission timeline is provided. Key compliance requirements include item unique identification, higher-level quality standards, and Buy American/FTA provisions.
