21.906 J&A REDACTED.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source supply contract with Rolls-Royce Corporation (RRC) for the Naval Sea Systems Command. The procurement involves twenty (20) MT7 Turboshaft production engines, four (4) MT7 Turboshaft spare engines, and five (5) MT7 Turboshaft engine installation kits, with options for eight (8) additional MT7 Turboshaft production engines. These production engines will be supplied as Government Furnished Equipment to Textron Systems Corporation for incorporation into LCAC 100 Class Craft for the Ship to Shore Connector (SSC) program. The period of performance is from October 2023 to January 2027, with funding from the Navy's Other Procurement (OPN) and Shipbuilding and Conversion (SCN) accounts. The justification emphasizes that RRC is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the MT7 engine, which shares a common core configuration with the AE1107C engine used in the V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft, making it uniquely qualified to fulfill the Navy's requirements.
