Market research was not conducted because NAVSEA regulations require the use of OEM assessment services . These unique supplies and services are available from only one source or only one supplier with unique capabilities FAR 6 . 302 - l(b) (1) (i) .

Curtiss - Wright/Dresser-Rand Company is the sole designer , developer and manu f acturer of the Ship ' s Service Air Compressors onboard a US aircraft carrier . Curtiss - Wright Company is the only contractor with the requisite knowledge , experience and technical data that can provide the required repair service and replacement parts for these air compressors . Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS) is the technical authority for this repair and requires the OEM to provide full assessment services to clean/inspect and test the AFT 02N2 CAP 16 LPAC , #2 and #3 CAP 12 SSAC , and #3 and #4 30NL- 30D HPAC in accordance with NAVSEA requirements .

Curtis - Wright is the authorized OEM , and the only manufacturer in the United States with access to the OEM drawings and proprietary information .

Proprietary data includes material composition , part dimensions , and machine tolerances. These are complex , highly engineered units mandated by NAVSEA for carrier applications . All parts must be OEM provided to ensure proper operation of the units .

LPAC : The AFT 02N2 compressor is vital Ship ' s equipment . Failure of this component will result in the inability to conduct flight operations - severely impacting the battle readiness of the ship and the ability of it to perform its mission . Curtiss - Wright is the NAVSEA mandated provider of the 02N2 LPAC ' s per T/M : S6220 - AS-MMI-010 .

Curtiss - Wright is the NAVSEA mandated provider of the carrier ' s SSACs per Technical Manual (T/M): S6220-AR- MMI - Al0 . Existing units are Curtiss - right (forma lly Dresser Rand) compressors Model CAP12 .

J&A # 18 - 0015

All components of SSACs are proprietary to OEM vendor (Curtiss - Wright

/Dresser Rand) and cannot be purchased from other vendo r s . Other vendors do not have access to OEM proprietary information .

Curtiss - Wright (formally Dresser - Rand) is the NAVSEA mandated provider of the carrier ' s SSACs per Technical Manual (T/M) : S6220 - AR- MMI - Al0 .

Exist i ng units are Curtiss - Wright/Dresser Rand compressors Model CAP12 .

6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Many Offerers as Practicable

For the reasons cited above , in paragraph 5 , no additional efforts were made to solicit for this requirement. Notification of this action will be publicized as required by FAR 5 . 2 and 6 . 305 .

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost

The contracting officer will use price analysis techniques in accordance with 15.404 - 1 to determine Curtiss - Wright ' s proposal is fair and reasonable .

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition

PSNS & IMF are taking actions to perform more compressor repair and overhaul rather than contract out the work . However , Project Superi n tendent for CVN - 76 FY 18 Ships Repair Avai l abil i ty (SRA) has requested that work be contracted out to OEM for this availability .
