Amendment I - Other Than Full and Open Competition - CPP Replacement Parts_Redacted.pdf

This Justification and Approval (J&A) document is for a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) purchase order from the Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command (MSC) to procure Controlled Pitch Propeller (CPP) replacement parts for T-AO 205 class vessels. The procurement will be exclusively from Rolls Royce Marine North America (RRMNA) and Kongsberg Maritime Inc. (KMI), who are the only authorized original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) capable of providing the specific after stern and forward stern tube bearings required, with a total quantity of 4 units each.

The procurement is deemed sole-source due to the proprietary nature of the engineering, technical characteristics, and manufacturing procedures for these critical maritime systems. A Sources Sought Notice was posted on 15 May 2025 to assess market capabilities, and no alternative vendors were found capable of meeting the technical requirements. The total estimated maximum award value is redacted, and the contract will be funded using Fiscal Year 25 United States Navy Working Capital Funds. MSC plans to continue issuing Sources Sought Notices for future similar requirements to maintain an active and competitive source selection process.
