About this opportunity
The Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation has awarded contract 6923G526C0008 to Timken Gears & Services, Inc. on a sole-source basis for miter gate drive gearbox rebuild on May 12, 2026.
The justification cites FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source. Timken, the original equipment manufacturer and designer, possesses proprietary technical data and design knowledge required to rebuild two custom miter gate drive operating gearboxes that control miter gate leaves weighing up to 275 tons at GLS's navigational locks in Massena, New York. The Government lacks the necessary technical data package—including engineering drawings, detailed specifications, material requirements, and manufacturing tolerances—to support full and open competition. The corporation determined that alternative sources cannot meet the requirement without access to proprietary OEM technical data, and reverse engineering would introduce unacceptable schedule delays, substantial additional costs, and increased technical and performance risks. Market research confirmed no alternate sources could satisfy the requirement. The work involves full replacement of internal gearing and components, reassembly, and testing of both gearboxes, with existing casings retained, refurbished, and reused. Period of performance extends through April 30, 2027. The corporation will ensure proposed costs are fair and reasonable through analysis of historical pricing and contractor proposals, and commits to obtaining technical data and associated data rights in future procurements to promote competition for similar requirements.
