The Military Sealift Command awarded a $1.79M firm fixed-price purchase order to Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corporation, Fleet Solutions Division for the procurement and delivery of 57 steam turbine repair parts for the USS Emory S. Land (AS-39), a Navy tender ship that provides maintenance and support services to deployed naval vessels. The contract, awarded on March 10, 2025 with completion by September 23, 2025, encompasses critical L4-designated turbine components including retaining rings, bearings, gaskets, springs, nuts, and bushings essential for ship maintenance operations. The award was made on a sole-source basis under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) authority, as Curtiss-Wright is the original equipment manufacturer with exclusive technical authorization from the U.S. Coast Guard and American Bureau of Shipping to provide these proprietary components. No set-aside designation was applied to this procurement.
Curtiss-Wright, located in Chula Vista, California, has an established history providing maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for naval shipboard equipment across multiple vessel classes. The parts will be delivered to the Military Sealift Command's Single Stock Unit Billing and Tracking System facility in San Diego to support the five-year maintenance requirements mandated for the USS Emory S. Land. This procurement is funded through FY2025 Navy working capital funds and reflects the critical nature of maintaining the fleet's operational readiness through original manufacturer replacement components.
