About this file
This is a Contracting Officer's Determination for Limiting Competition at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for a sole-source purchase order.
The contracting activity is USACE Nashville District, located at 110 9th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37203. The requirement is a new purchase order for comprehensive rehabilitation of legacy Woodward Mechanical Governor Systems, with funding from FY 26 Civil Works (non-OMA funds). The proposed contractor is Emerson Process Management Power & Water Solutions, Inc., located at 200 Beta Dr., Pittsburgh, PA 15238-2918. This is a fixed-price, brand-name purchase order. The period of performance is TBD, with a total value redacted in the document.
The work requires rehabilitation of Woodward Governor Systems to original design specifications using OEM parts, diagnostic equipment, and factory-certified technician expertise. The contractor must provide genuine OEM part kits including actuators, pilot valves, servomotors, and control components, along with onsite technical expertise. The justification for sole-source award cites RFO 16.507-7(b) (Brand Name) authority, establishing that Emerson is the only responsible source capable of providing required supplies and services. Market research confirms Emerson's exclusive proprietary ownership of original design drawings, manufacturing specifications, tooling, and intellectual property following its 2020 acquisition of American Governor. A Notice of Intent to Award was posted to SAM.gov on March 17, 2026 for two days with no responses received. The Contracting Officer has certified the anticipated cost as fair and reasonable and determined the sole-source procurement is in the Government's best interest.
