About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, through the Advanced Propulsor Management Office at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, is seeking to procure casting, machining, and assembly services for rotors, stators, and scoop bars in support of Virginia Class submarine propulsors. This pre-solicitation notice serves as notification that the government will conduct a sole-source procurement under FAR 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), with the anticipated solicitation to be issued in February 2026. The contract will require the contractor to provide engineering services, technical support, and component repairs while pricing engineering change proposals. A formal solicitation is expected in February 2026, and interested parties should note that this pre-solicitation notice is not a request for proposals; any unsolicited proposals submitted in response will not be accepted, and the government will not reimburse proposal development costs. The deadline for this pre-solicitation notice is January 28, 2026, providing industry stakeholders with one week's notice of the upcoming procurement action.
This procurement carries no set-aside designations and is anticipated to be awarded as a sole-source contract to Bird-Johnson Propeller Company, LLC. The contract will span five years and requires the contractor to deliver up to three rotors annually and up to four shipsets of stators to the shipbuilder, with stator deliveries concentrated in the first four years of performance. The contract structure will combine Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee and Firm-Fixed-Price arrangements to accommodate both the variable engineering services and fixed-price manufacturing components. Specific award values and detailed budget ranges are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, though the multi-year timeline with sustained production requirements indicates a significant procurement. The scope includes not only production of rotating and fixed components but also technical inspection, tooling, repairs, and alterations throughout the contract period.
