This is a justification document for a federal procurement using other than full and open competition for a requirement under the simplified acquisition threshold.

The procurement seeks the refurbishment of Submarine Diesel Engine Governors by OEM, with a period of performance from April 30, 2026, through September 30, 2026, for replacement of installed governors on waterfront units. The vendor source identified is Woodward INC, represented by Christine Conner (christine.conner@woodward.com, +1 970-498-3618). The justification cites a sole source rationale, indicating that Submarine Diesel Engines use exclusively Woodward Governors with no substitutes available. The document explains that diesel engines serve as an emergency power source on submarines and the governors are essential for proper operation. No authorized reseller information is provided, as the item is obtained directly from the manufacturer. The justification was certified by the customer on April 8, 2026, approved by the Contracting Officer on April 15, 2026, and approved by the one-level-above authority on the same date. The Code for this requirement is 157C1, and the contracting action is subject to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold.
