This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole source contract from the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command. The contract is for Northrop Grumman Marine Systems to perform repair and modification work on the #1 and #2 Ships Service Turbine Generators (SSTGs) for a Virginia Class Submarine at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The proposed contract will involve disassembly, inspection, and repair of inboard and outboard thrust bearing stators and axial sensor and wirewall modifications during the ship's depot modernization period.

The contract is being awarded on a sole source basis under FAR 6.302-1, as Northrop Grumman is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) who owns the proprietary equipment, drawings, and procedures necessary to complete the work. The Navy conducted market research in multiple states (New Mexico, Virginia, New Hampshire) seeking alternative vendors, but no responses were received. The total estimated contract value will be funded by FY 24 Operations and Maintenance, Navy Funding, and the Contracting Officer anticipates the costs will be fair and reasonable based on historical contract analysis and pricing comparisons.
