# Sources sought seeking feedback from industry professionals on use of non-Wheelabrator brand parts with Wheelabrator brand systems Canonical: https://abierto.us/opportunities/n6945025rkb02 - Solicitation number: N6945025RKB02 - Notice type: Sources sought - Status: Closed. Deadline was March 26, 2025 at 12:00 PM EDT - Department: Department of the Navy - Agency: Department of the Navy - Contracting office: Navfacsyscom Southeast (N69450) - NAICS: 236220 Commercial and Institutional Building Construction - Product or service code: Y1EB Construction Of Maintenance Buildings - Set-aside: Total small business set-aside - Place of performance: Kings Bay, Georgia - County: Camden County (FIPS 13039). https://abierto.us/counties/camden-county-ga-13039 - First posted: March 11, 2025 - Last posted: March 11, 2025 - SAM.gov: https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/9fda2a3f5d2445a492c93eb4521d134d/view ## Description The intent of this sources sought is to seek feedback from industry professions to determine whether they have had experience with using non-Wheelabrator brand name for equipment for Abrasive Reclaim Systems (Blast Media Elevators), each composed of a Hopper, Elevator, Rotary Drum, and Air-Wash Separator, which are capable of full functional interface Wheelabrator system and blast media recovery systems. It is the government’s understanding that companies other than Wheelabrator would have difficulties in providing replacement parts due to the proprietary drawings and specifications which belong to Wheelabrator for these systems. Additionally, it is the government’s understanding that any company who would attempt to align these non-Wheelabrator parts with the Wheelabrator system would have to re-engineer these parts and likely cause interface issues with the existing Wheelabrator system, which, in turn would cause the system(s) to lose functionality. This notice does NOT constitute a request for proposal, request for quote, or invitation for bid. The intent of this notice is to identify potential offerors for market research purposes. Interested parties should respond no later than 26 March 2025, 12PM, EDT. In response to this sources sought, the Government is requesting the following information: Are there contractors who have been successful in re-engineering/retrofitting parts to align and interface with Wheelabrator systems? Does industry believe there is low risk to using non-Wheelabrator parts with a Wheelabrator system? In other words, does industry believe the likelihood of interface systems issues is low or non-existent? Has industry been successful in obtaining drawings and specifications from Wheelabrator which they have then used to re-engineer parts as described above (Abrasive Reclaim Systems [Blast Media Elevators], each composed of a Hopper, Elevator, Rotary Drum, and Air-Wash Separator) which have successfully interfaced with Wheelabrator systems and blast media recovery systems. Any other information as to why there may or may not be concerns with using non-Wheelabrator parts with a Wheelabrator system. ## Publications - March 11, 2025: Sources sought, due March 26, 2025 at 12:00 PM EDT.
