About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) document on November 6, 2025, for a sole-source procurement of engineering and site support services related to the Advanced Carbon Dioxide Unit (ACRU) on OHIO and COLUMBIA Class submarines. The contract, awarded to Hamilton Sundstrand Corp (Collins Aerospace), is structured as a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity agreement with a total estimated value of $7,546,004 spanning fiscal years 2024 through 2028, with annual funding ranging from approximately $1.4 to $1.6 million. The Navy justified the sole-source approach based on Hamilton Sundstrand's unique proprietary expertise and specialized knowledge of the ACRU life support equipment, determining that alternative contractors would require 42 to 54 months to develop equivalent technical capabilities, which would compromise submarine mission readiness. The Navy conducted market research through a Request for Information and Sources Sought notice, but the two responses received were deemed technically incapable of supporting the required work. The Navy intends to acquire technical data during contract performance to enable future competitive procurements and plans to explore alternative contracting vehicles such as Other Transactional Authority agreements to develop a broader vendor base for future ACRU engineering services.
