About this file
This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole source contract award issued by the Department of the Navy, Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PHNSY & IMF), Contracts Division, Code 410.
The procurement seeks to award a sole source contract to Northrop Grumman Marine Systems (NG), the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), for maintenance, repair, and overhaul of Ship's Service Turbine Generator (SSTG) No. 1 and No. 2 aboard a Virginia Class submarine, under work package HIRMC-502-26. The Government IGE is $8,012,197.41, with a period of performance from 31 August 2026 through 31 August 2028 or until work completion. Funding is allocated to FY-26 Operation and Maintenance (OM&N). The sole source justification is authorized under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), based on the determination that only one responsible source exists capable of performing the work. Northrop Grumman possesses proprietary processes, specialized tooling, and proprietary software necessary to complete maintenance, repair, and overhaul with satisfactory results, including high-pressure turbine bearing assembly, low-pressure turbine bearing assembly, generator coupling end, bearing assembly, and thrust rotor and stator assemblies. Market research conducted through three sources sought notices (posted in March 2024, May 2024, and December 2025) identified only one additional interested party, which was determined to be technically incapable of performing SSTG repairs or providing required OEM technical representative support. The Contracting Officer will ensure fair and reasonable pricing based on historical contract data from similar past procurements. Future sources sought will continue to be conducted with assessment for competition if alternative sources emerge.

NMCARS Annex 1
Number Posted N32253-26-Q-0029 16 December 2025 � 30
December 2025 1 Sole Source; Interested party was determined to be technically unable to perform the requirement N32253-24-R-0011/ N32253-25-C-0003
20 May 2024 � 03 June
0 Sole Source
N32253-24-R-0009/ N32253-24-C-0008
07 March 2024 � 15 March
1 Sole Source; Interested party did not submit a capability statement and was foreign-based, not registered in SAM.
This current requirement is nearly identical to previous historical requirements. Results of prior and current market research utilizing sources sought synopses are displayed on the table above. Prior market research demonstrated only one interested party responded on previous contract N32253-24-C-0008. Current market research resulted in a separate interested party responding to the sources sought.
The current sources sought notice was posted from 16 December 2025 � 30 December 2025 resulted in one interested party submitting a capabilities statement. The local interested party stated in their capabilities statement that they are capable of integrating and hosting OEM personnel but not directly capable of performing any SSTG repairs.
In consideration of this capability statement, the Contract Specialist further inquired with the OEM on whether they perform as a subcontractor for SSTG type work. The OEM replied via email on 23 January 2026 and verbally on 27 January 2026 verifying that they do not perform as a subcontractor and the only subcontracting existing arrangement they have is for larger, new hull construction. The OEM also stated that for all SSTG type work, it does not perform as a subcontractor. As such, it is determined that the interested party is not technically capable of performing the work or providing for the OEM technical representative requirements as required by HIRMC-502-26.
As the one interested party was found to be technically incapable of performing the work, the Government concludes that there is only one responsible source that can perform this requirement.
7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost.
The Contracting Officer will ensure the anticipated cost to the Government for the supplies/service for this requirement covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable. The Contracting Officer�s determination of fair and reasonable price will be based on price and cost analyses in accordance with FAR 15.404-1 Proposal Analysis techniques.
Similar quantities of this requirement have been purchased routinely from this vendor in the past, and pricing information was received on those past procurements. The information from historical contracts provide sufficient data to support a fair and reasonable determination for this procurement.
8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition.
For the reasons set forth above, PHNSY & IMF Code 410 has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the types of supplies/services covered by this document. Sources sought will be conducted for future requirements of this type and if another potential source emerges, PHNSY & IMF Code 410 will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.
