About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command is procuring commercial services to modify an 80-ton General Electric locomotive (USN 65-00341) at Norfolk Naval Shipyard to enable single-engine operation. The specific work involves installing wiring and connections between reversing contactors to allow the locomotive to operate on either Engine 1 or Engine 2 independently, installing electric engine hour meters on both engines, and troubleshooting the load AMP meter traction circuit. This is a sole-source procurement justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) due to the contractor's proprietary knowledge and existing warranty coverage of the locomotive's wiring system. The procurement falls under NAICS code 488210 (Support Activities for Rail Transportation) with a small business size standard of $34 million and Product Service Code K022 for railway equipment modification. The solicitation was posted on July 28, 2025, with responses due the same day.
This procurement is designated as an 8(a) sole source contract and is also set aside for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), specifically Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB). McHugh Locomotive & Equipment has been identified as the sole contractor due to their unique qualifications and existing warranty coverage that remains valid until October 25, 2025. The contract is structured as a firm fixed-price arrangement with a performance period from July 21, 2025 to August 18, 2025. The locomotive being modified is a 1944 model that was rebuilt in 1985 and features two Cummins engines. All work will be performed at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard Classification Yard in Portsmouth, Virginia 23709.
