MODIFICATION TO JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL

FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

JUSTIFICATION

Contracting Activity

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD), Contracting and Acquisitions Department (Code 02).

Reasons for Modification to the Justification and Approval

J&A approval is being revised based on negotiated values to award a new contract to Metalex Manufacturing. The new contract will be for the acquisition of qualification efforts and for machining of a maximum of five rotor castings. The original J&A was approved for , but the Government Estimate did not include the machine hours cost. The machine hour cost is significant and over per hour, which was reviewed and approved by DCAA, and resulted in the higher negotiated price.

Description of Supplies/Services

NSWCCD’s Advanced Propulsor Management Office (APMO), in support of the Virginia Class program office (PMS450), requires the procurement of machining services for various NAB propulsor components for the Virginia Class propulsor. Under the anticipated contract, the Government requires Metalex to qualify to, and to complete machining of a maximum of five Virginia Class IAH rotor castings from rough through final machining, in order to reduce schedule risk to the Government due to significant machine loading issues at both the Naval Foundry and Propeller Center (NFPC) and Rolls-Royce Marine North America (RRMNA).

The expected period of performance for this anticipated contract will be five years from the date of award. The base year will include CPFF CLINs for non-recurring engineering and material necessary to qualify Metalex for the manufacturing of IAH rotor castings. Subsequent Option Years will include either CPFF (first rotor) or CPIF (rotors two through five)
