RRC CIP BOA CJ A redacted.pdf

This document is a Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) for a sole-source contract with Rolls Royce Corporation (RRC) for engineering and logistics efforts supporting T56-A series engines for the U.S. Navy and Foreign Military Sales. The contract will cover engineering and logistics services including Component Improvement Program (CIP) efforts, technical investigations, training, publication development, support equipment procurement, change kit development, engineering services, and technical field support for T56-14, T56-A-16, T56-A-425, T56-A-427, and T56-A-427A type/model/series engines.

The contract is authorized under a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) expiring September 2023, with an estimated dollar value across multiple funding categories (RDT&EN, APN-5, FMS, O&MN) for fiscal years FY24-FY29. NAVAIR determined that RRC is the only source with the required technical knowledge, experience, and infrastructure to provide these specialized engineering services, and that competing the contract would result in substantial duplication of costs. The document notes that no other vendors have the technical system data or current infrastructure to perform these engine and aircraft support services.
