About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order to Timken Gears & Services, Inc. for V-22 Prop Rotor Gearbox (PRGB) repairs on a sole source basis. The notice pertains to on-site repairs of commercial gearboxes located at Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE), specifically involving the engine/mast torquer pinion and idler assembly replacement. Timken Gears & Services has been identified as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) with proprietary technical data rights necessary to perform these specialized repairs. The contract opportunity is classified under NAICS category 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery equipment repair and maintenance. The notice is being published under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 8.405-6(a)(C), which allows for a single source procurement when only one source is reasonably available.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to repair a specific V-22 Prop Rotor Gearbox to restore it to fully operational condition, with Timken being the sole qualified vendor. Contractors have a three-calendar-day window from the publication date to submit capability statements, which will be evaluated to determine potential competitive procurement. While this is not a competitive quote request, the government will consider any received information solely to assess alternative sourcing options. The repair work includes comprehensive services such as procurement, transportation, engineering, parts, tools, labor, and materials, with specific requirements for alignment verification, torquer repair, spare component provisioning, and return-to-service validation. Eligibility is effectively limited, as Timken is recognized as the exclusive provider with the necessary technical expertise and proprietary rights. The point of contact for this opportunity is Jeff Smith, who can be reached at jeffrey.t.smith6.civ@us.navy.mil. Ultimately, the determination to proceed with this sole-source procurement remains entirely at the government's discretion.
