The Contract Specialist confirmed that Fairbanks Morse Engine, Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM); therefore, the only authorized vendor who can provide the PC 2.5 Engine training. On 09 December 2019, the Contract Specialist also posted a Sources Sought notice for three (3) days and received no responses. This training is considered mission essential and would provide the needed training to SWRMC's employees, resulting in significant savings to the Government and would reduce down time if SWRMC's employees had the skillsets, knowledge and capability to service, maintain and troubleshoot these engines.

Furthermore, Fairbanks Morse Engine, Inc. will provide a lead instructor, training manuals and all the curriculum for up to 10 students at SWRMC's facility building 3418 Classroom starting 27JAN-31JAN2020.

Lastly, SWRMC code 931 will provide all tooling, equipment for the training and safety attire for all attendees.

As this specific engine is currently installed on board all the LSD's Class ships, and the government cannot afford 2 to 8 weeks, down time as these ships have to meet their deployment schedules; therefore, the training is considered mission essential.
