The Naval Supply Systems Command awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $13,704.41 to Laurel Technologies Partnership (DRS Laurel Technologies) on January 19, 2024, for repair services on a Controller Assembly unit (Part No. 8240795-001). The contract is scheduled for completion by November 25, 2025, with performance taking place in Largo, Florida. This sole-source procurement was initiated through a pre-solicitation notice posted in October 2023, following the Navy's determination that reverse engineering or obtaining repair data from alternative sources would be uneconomical. No small business set-aside was used for this award.
Laurel Technologies Partnership, a subsidiary of Italian aerospace and defense company Leonardo SPA, was selected based on its demonstrated capability to repair the specific component. The company operates as a manufacturer of advanced electronic components and combat systems for naval operations and has an established track record as a large business contractor serving the Department of Defense through Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, and other naval agencies. As a foreign-owned entity registered in SAM.gov, Laurel Technologies provides specialized electronic and maritime defense technologies that support critical naval vessel systems and equipment maintenance requirements.
