    Sole Source Justification signed.pdf
    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, has submitted a single source justification for the overhaul and in-shop testing of a Woodward XX pump with a 60 HP Westinghouse motor for the Unit 3 governor system at Albeni Falls Dam in Idaho. This contract involves comprehensive maintenance, including disassembling, cleaning, replacing parts, and testing to ensure the pump operates according to OEM specifications. Emerson Electric, the current owner of Woodward's proprietary designs, is deemed the only viable source due to their extensive experience and access to original engineering specifications. The estimated cost of the overhaul is $37,105. The necessity for prompt and precise repairs stems from the pump's critical role in the hydroelectric system. Substituting the existing pump would entail more significant costs and complexities, thus making the overhaul the most efficient and effective choice. This procurement is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b), allowing solicitation from a single source for purchases below the simplified acquisition threshold, and underscores the importance of adhering to OEM standards to ensure operational reliability.
    SOW.pdf
    The Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for a Firm Fixed Price Supply contract to remanufacture and test a 60 HP Woodward XX Herringbone Gear Pump Assembly for the Albeni Falls Dam. The contractor is responsible for all personnel, equipment, and materials needed to perform comprehensive remanufacturing tasks, including disassembly, inspection, and assembly while adhering to OEM specifications. The pump is critical to the dam's operation, with current issues including gear wear and motor aging necessitating precise repairs to avoid failures. Performance expectations demand completion within ten weeks of receipt at the contractor’s facility, with testing to ensure the pump meets specific flow and pressure parameters. Only Emerson Electric, the owner of Woodward's original designs, is authorized to supply parts, ensuring that repairs meet stringent OEM standards. Proper handling and shipping to and from the dam are also required. The SOW emphasizes the importance of maintaining the pump's reliability, as any failure could significantly impact power generation at the hydroelectric facility.
