Controllable and Fixed Pitch Propeller Repair and Refurbishment

The Controllable and Fixed Pitch Propeller Repair and Refurbishment Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division, focuses on the comprehensive repair and refurbishment of propeller systems for various U.S. Navy vessel classes. The contract supports the NAVSES05Z 2SCOG Program's critical maintenance requirements for propulsion components, specifically targeting controllable pitch propeller (CPP) blades and fixed pitch propellers. The vehicle is designed to ensure the Navy maintains a ready inventory of operational propeller assets for key ship classes including DDG 51, DDG 1000, CG 47, LPD 17, LSD 41, LHA 6, LHD 1, and MCM 1 Class vessels.

The task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from $500 to approximately $1.4 million, with performance periods typically extending 1-3 years. Prime contractors like Defense Maritime Solutions, Inc. (Wartsila Defense Inc.) and Rolls-Royce Marine North America Inc. have been the primary awardees, performing work predominantly in locations such as Chesapeake, Virginia and Walpole, Massachusetts. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is the consistent funding agency, with all task orders sharing a common "No Set-Aside" designation. The delivery orders primarily involve repair, refurbishment, and replacement of specific propeller components including blade sets, individual propellers for specific ship classes (like LHD-1 and LCC-19), and general propulsion system maintenance services.
