This is a Sole Source Justification for Commercial Items using FAR 13.5, submitted by NAVSUP WSS (Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support) in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania for the negotiation and award of a contract through other than full and open competition.

The procurement involves a single commercial item: a ship propeller hub (nomenclature: HUB, PROPELLER, SHIP) with NSN 2010-012480378, part number 115752001 LH. The required delivery date is September 10, 2027, with no option periods identified. The justification identifies the sole source as the only manufacturer capable of satisfying the requirement and notes that the item is a commercial/nondevelopmental off-the-shelf product. According to the rationale, this source is the only known manufacturer that possesses the required technical data and has demonstrated capability to meet performance and compatibility requirements within the higher assembly. The government does not own the data or rights necessary to solicit the requirement from other sources. Market research was conducted by the technical advocate to confirm sole source status. The contracting activity will pursue cost and pricing analysis to ensure fair and reasonable pricing prior to award. To promote future competition, NAVSUP WSS will encourage other vendors to submit complete technical data packages for source approval and will continue advertising future requirements on the government-wide point of entry. The justification was created on November 13, 2025, and received final approval by February 24, 2026.
