Sole Source - Electric Piston Horn for T-AKE Vessel

Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound intends to award a firm-fixed-price supply purchase order to Kahlenberg Industries Inc. for an OEM KPH-90 Electric Piston Horn (military version). This procurement is conducted on a sole-source basis because the equipment is a Ship Critical Safety Item requiring a direct replacement for form, fit, and function with existing systems. The supplies must be procured directly through the original equipment manufacturer in accordance with approved ABS drawings to support Transportation Alteration 649 onboard a T-AKE vessel.

The solicitation is identified by number N0040626Q0073 and is classified under NAICS 334290, Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing, and PSC 6320, Shipboard Alarm and Signal Systems. There is no set-aside associated with this requirement. Performance will take place in San Diego, California, and the response deadline is April 21, 2026. One attachment, a solicitation PDF, was provided at the time of publication on April 15, 2026.

While the government intends to award this to Kahlenberg Industries Inc., interested companies may identify their interest and capability to respond. Such submissions will be used solely to determine whether the government will conduct a competitive procurement, a decision that remains at the discretion of the contracting office. Ryan Storrusten serves as the point of contact for this requirement.
