Amendment I - Other Than Full and Open Competition.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Use of Other Than Full and Open Competition for the Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command (MSC). The document authorizes a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) purchase order for Controlled Pitch Propeller (CPP) replacement parts for T-AO 205 class vessels, specifically after stern tube bearings. The total estimated contract value is $601,456.00, to be funded through FY25 Navy Working Capital Funds, with the contract limited to two vendors: Rolls Royce Marine North America, Inc. (RRMNA) and Kongsberg Maritime Inc. (KMI).

The procurement is justified as these specific CPP systems/parts are proprietary to RRMNA and KMI, who are the only companies capable of providing the necessary technical data, drawings, and replacement parts. A Sources Sought Notice was posted on 15 May 2025 to determine potential vendors, with RRMNA and KMI being the only verified Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) responding. The Military Sealift Command will continue to issue Sources Sought Notices for future similar requirements to ensure ongoing competitive source selection, and will assess whether competition becomes feasible if additional potential sources emerge.
