SOMERSET FY25 SRA_JA_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for other than full and open competition from the Department of the Navy's Southwest Regional Maintenance Center in San Diego, CA. The document seeks approval for direct replacement parts from Fairbanks Morse Defense to support the USS SOMERSET (LPD-25) Main Propulsion Diesel Engine (MPDE) 2B overhaul and fuel rack crossover shaft overhauls.

The total estimated value is $475,944.60 using FY-25 OPN funds. The parts include adjustable linkages and main bearings that must be delivered by September 18, 2025 to support the FY-25 DSRA maintenance period. The justification cites unusual and compelling urgency as the statutory authority, noting that the 32-week lead time from the OEM is critical for meeting the Production Completion Date milestone of August 19, 2026. A Sources Sought notice was posted on SAM.gov on December 11, 2023 with no responses received. Fairbanks Morse Defense is identified as the only source capable of providing the required OEM parts, with no authorized distributors available.
