About this file
This Justification and Approval (J&A) document from the Department of the Navy's Naval Surface Warfare Center details a sole-source fixed-price contract with Innovative Professional Solutions, Inc. (IPS) for acquiring AC Hoyle Model Minesweeping Winches and support equipment for the Republic of Korea (ROK) Navy. The procurement includes MSS Fantail Minesweeping Winch Bearings, Gaskets, Kobelt Brake Manifold Controls, Levers, and Hydraulic Motors, with a total estimated value of approximately 60 months after delivery.
The contract is being awarded under the Arms Export Control Act using Foreign Military Sales (FMS) funds, with IPS identified as the only authorized source for these specialized minesweeping winches. Metso, which has absorbed A.C. Hoyle, is the sole vendor holding all intellectual property rights and data for these customized winches. The Navy determined that creating a new prototype or using another vendor would result in substantial duplication costs and delays, making this sole-source procurement the most efficient path to meet the ROK Navy's requirements within the specified program schedule.
