RRC CIP BOA CJ A redacted.pdf

This is a Class Justification and Approval (CJ&A) document for the Department of the Navy authorizing sole-source contracting with Rolls Royce Corporation (RRC) in Indianapolis for engineering and logistics support of T56-A series aircraft engines.

The CJ&A authorizes issuance of orders on a sole-source basis under a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with RRC for engineering and logistics services supporting all variants of T56-A engines, including the Component Improvement Program (CIP) and sustainment for U.S. Navy and Foreign Military Sales customers. Services encompass engineering investigations, training, publication development, support equipment repair, change kit development and validation, kit procurement and installation, engineering services, sustaining and production engineering support, logistic modeling and analysis, field technical services, and non-recurring engineering for propulsion system components. The estimated dollar value for FY24-FY29 spans RDT&E, APN-5, FMS, and O&MN funding categories (specific values are redacted). Authority under this class justification expires five years from the approval date. The current BOA (N00019-18-C-0025) expires September 2023. The Government determined that RRC is the sole source capable of providing these services due to exclusive knowledge of T56 engine technical data, unique qualifications as sole manufacturer of engines used in P-3, C-130, C-2, E-2C, and E-2D aircraft, and absence of alternative sources with requisite technical systems data and infrastructure. Competitive procurement was deemed infeasible with estimated costs of $936 million for an alternate engine development program. Prior sources-sought notices posted on SAM.gov yielded no viable alternative responses, satisfying requirements for documenting competition efforts.
