The Military Sealift Command Norfolk seeks to award a firm-fixed price, sole-source contract to Wartsila Defense, Inc. for supply of various spare and replacement parts to support maintenance of Wartsila WLD 1400SR waterjet propulsion systems aboard the USNS BURLINGTON. The solicitation requires delivery of all listed sacrificial anodes, mounting sets, overhaul kits, seals, connectors and other components by September 1, 2021 to maintain the propulsion systems. As the original equipment manufacturer, only Wartsila Defense is qualified to provide proprietary parts and technical support critical to safely operate the complex propulsion systems on T-EPF class vessels.

No set-aside designation was used. As the sole-source award is to the OEM Wartsila Defense, they are the only incumbent and potential contractor. The place of performance will be within the United States. The justification document notes the value of the contract is approximately $xxxxxxx using FY21 operation and maintenance funds to sustain the specialized propulsion systems aboard T-EPF expeditionary fast transport vessels through FY21.
