Rolls-Royce Marine North America Inc.

Rolls-Royce Marine North America Inc., doing business as Rolls-Royce Naval Marine, is a large, foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer of marine propulsion systems, power generation equipment, and specialized maritime components headquartered in Walpole, Massachusetts. The company has been registered as a federal contractor since February 2002 and serves as a critical original equipment manufacturer (OEM) supplier to the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and Military Sealift Command. Rolls-Royce Marine North America holds two significant indefinite delivery vehicles—a $66.7 million contract with the United States Fleet Forces Command extending through May 2028 and a Basic Ordering Agreement with Naval Supply Systems Command through June 2029—which position it as a primary provider of OEM support, technical field services, and specialized maritime components across the naval fleet. The company specializes in supplying and servicing propulsion systems, including gas turbine engines, controllable pitch propellers, propeller blades and seals, bearing assemblies, valve assemblies, and associated naval components critical to maintaining operational readiness across military maritime vessels.

The company's federal contract portfolio demonstrates extensive involvement across all major naval and Coast Guard acquisition commands, with prime contract awards from the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Military Sealift Command (MSC), U.S. Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic Fleet), Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), and the U.S. Coast Guard. Prime contract awards have included delivery orders valued in the millions of dollars for manufacturing stator blades, gas turbine engines, propeller hubs and assemblies, and repair services, alongside numerous smaller purchase orders for specialized components such as seal kits, bearing housings, valve assemblies, and coupling systems. Representative awards include a $9.9 million delivery order from NAVSEA for manufacturing 20 stator blades, a $6.6 million delivery order for stator production, and a $3.03 million delivery order for repair work. Rolls-Royce has provided propeller maintenance and repair services for numerous Military Sealift Command vessels including USNS Tippecanoe, USNS Guadalupe, USNS Grumman, USNS Kanawha, and USNS Humphrey, as well as supporting littoral combat ship programs and service for vessels such as USS Billings and USS Indianapolis. The company frequently serves as a prime contractor in no-set-aside procurements due to its position as the OEM for many proprietary propulsion system components, and it subcontracts regularly with major shipbuilders and defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems divisions (Norfolk Ship Repair, Jacksonville Ship Repair, and San Diego Ship Repair), Bath Iron Works Corporation, National Steel and Shipbuilding Company, Vigor Marine LLC, and Eastern Shipbuilding Group. Sub-award activities have included providing labor, materials, equipment, and engineering support for vessel repairs, controllable pitch propeller system overhauls, waterjet system inspections, bearing seal repairs, and component procurement in support of new construction and maintenance initiatives across Navy and Coast Guard platforms. Rolls-Royce's contract work encompasses cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders for labor-intensive engineering and logistics support, firm-fixed-price purchase orders for manufactured components and spare parts, and sole-source procurements recognizing its exclusive OEM technical capabilities for critical naval propulsion equipment.
