Purchase Order N0010424PJB03

The Naval Supply Systems Command awarded a $2.17 million firm fixed-price purchase order to GE Energy Power Conversion USA Inc. (doing business as Converteam) on March 28, 2024, for the supply of a machine bridge module with an ultimate completion date of May 15, 2025. The contract was issued on a non-set-aside basis to the prime contractor's facility in Imperial, Pennsylvania. GE Energy Power Conversion, a large for-profit subsidiary of General Electric Company, is a critical supplier of propulsion systems, power distribution equipment, and electrical controls for naval and maritime applications across the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security. This purchase order represents a continuation of the company's extensive portfolio of federal defense contracts, which collectively exceed hundreds of millions of dollars in value across multiple vessel classes and naval programs.

The procurement originated from a pre-solicitation opportunity posted in June 2022 with an April 2023 due date. An associated subcontract award issued March 25, 2024, encompasses the refurbishment of 50 marine bridge module units, indicating the scope of modernization and maintenance activities supporting the Navy's operational readiness. GE Energy Power Conversion's dominant position as the original equipment manufacturer for numerous naval vessel classes makes it the primary technical partner for such specialized propulsion and power conversion equipment, frequently awarded sole-source contracts reflecting its unique manufacturing and technical capabilities. The company regularly engages minority-owned, veteran-owned, and small business subcontractors including Cadick Corp, Atlantic Plant Maintenance Inc., and In-Place Machining Company LLC to support delivery of these critical defense capabilities.
