About this file
This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for use of other than full and open competition issued by Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY), Department of the Navy, for a firm-fixed-price sole source contract award to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation.
The procurement covers maintenance, repair, and overhaul of the No. 1 and No. 2 ship's service turbine generators (SSTG) aboard the USS New Hampshire (SSN-778) at Norfolk Naval Shipyard. Services include disassembly, inspection, repair, tuning and balancing of SSTG components, removal and installation of existing and new OEM components, and replacement of the No. 1 and No. 2 SSTG Inboard and Outboard Thrust Stator and Catcher Bearings. OEM materials and specialized tooling with a minimum 637-day lead time are required. The contract is divided into three service phases spanning fiscal years 2026-2028, with total funding provided through Operations and Maintenance (O&MN) accounts. Award is anticipated in FY26. The contracting officer determined costs as fair and reasonable using FAR 13.106-3 techniques. Sole source justification is based on Northrop Grumman's status as OEM maintaining proprietary tooling, equipment, drawings, and components essential to SSTG maintenance. A Sources Sought Notice posted February 28, 2023 through March 10, 2023 yielded no alternative qualified sources. Historical precedent demonstrates Northrop Grumman has exclusively provided virtually identical SSTG repair services for multiple Navy vessels under prior sole source contracts. The J&A will be posted on SAM.gov with a synopsis to the Government Point of Entry in accordance with FAR requirements.
