N10425Q7007 JA signed N00L_Redact.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a non-competitive procurement by the Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command (MSC), Norfolk, VA.

MSC is awarding a purchase order on a brand-name basis to Everlience (formerly MAN Energy Solutions), an authorized service and supply provider of Everlience turbochargers, for the design, procurement, and installation of six turbochargers on the Auxiliary Diesel Generators (ADGs) aboard the USNS COMFORT (T-AH 20). The scope includes inlet and exhaust compensators, pumps, and all required regulatory body approvals. The estimated contract value is redacted, with funding from fiscal year 2026 and 2027 Navy working capital funds. The procurement was posted on Sam.gov on July 3, 2025, and closed on July 9, 2025, with one response from Motor Services Hugo Stamp, a capable large business seeking non-OEM contractor consideration.

The justification for sole-source procurement under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) is based on MAN Energy Solutions being the Original Equipment Manufacturer with exclusive rights to proprietary information and OEM parts required for turbocharger retrofit. The turbochargers are integral to the vessel's Auxiliary Power System and mission-critical hospital spaces. No other commercial or non-commercial parts can interface with the existing ADGs. MSC has no plans to remove barriers to future competition with non-OEM service providers, though it will assess feasibility if alternative sources emerge. The Contracting Officer will determine fair and reasonable cost in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-3.
