Repair of LCS2 Class Waterjet and Impeller Shaft Assemblies

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) intends to solicit for the repair of LCS2 Class Waterjet and Impeller Shaft assemblies on behalf of the NAVSEA05Z 2SCOG Program. In order to sustain U.S. Navy fleet requirements, WLD 1500 SR Waterjet, WLD 1500 SR Shaft, 1720 SR Waterjet, and 1720 SR Shaft assemblies must be repaired to ensure that the 2SCOG program does not “stock out” of available ready-for-issue (RFI) assets that are essential to the propulsion of LCS ship classes.

This solicitation is expected to result in a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract on a sole source basis to Wartsila Defense, Inc. (WDI). The ordering period is anticipated to be sixty (60) months. The period of performance is anticipated to be seventy-two (72) months with an estimated total maximum quantity of 180 waterjet and impeller shaft assemblies to be repaired throughout the Contract term.

As such, WDI is the only contractor with the background, technical knowledge and expertise, design familiarity, facilities, and access to proprietary information and processes necessary to comply with the requirements of this contract. As a result, WDI is the only contractor qualified to perform the efforts associated with the Statement of Work under this requirement.
