Summary of CUI - Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition
This is a Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition (CUI) document for a sole-source acquisition under FAR 12.102 restricting competition. The Military Sealift Command (MSC) is seeking a commercial firm-fixed-price supply-type purchase order from Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), for the overhaul, repair, and upgrade of High Pressure Air Compressors (HPACs) onboard an MSC vessel. The requirement involves 18,000 hours of maintenance on two HPACs and electrical and condensate drain upgrades due to obsolete equipment. The delivery location is N32205 MSC W143 Warehouse in Norfolk, VA 23511, with an anticipated award date of June 2026 and FY26 general funds allocated. The contracting activity is N00406 – Naval Supply Fleet Logistics Puget Sound.
The justification supports sole-source procurement based on Curtiss-Wright's unique qualifications as the only source capable of providing compatible repairs and replacements. The OEM owns proprietary rights to technical data necessary for repairs, direct replacement parts, and system adjustments, and maintains the only authorized field service technicians with expertise to work on these critical safety items. Market research confirmed the HPACs are not available through mandatory sources, existing contract vehicles, or mandatory category management. A pre-solicitation notice posted on SAM.gov from April 2-8, 2026 did not identify alternative sources. The justification was legally reviewed on May 27, 2026, and approved by the Contracting Activity Competition Advocate pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 1901 implementing FAR Subpart 12.
