E32 26Q5703 Sole Source Justification and Approval 4Dec2025_Redacted.pdf

The Naval Sea Systems Command proposes a sole-source contract with Drake Controls-West LLC for the overhaul and restoration of two EDG governors (part number 9900-550) to OEM specifications. This action, justified under 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(1) and FAR 13.5, is necessary because Drake Controls-West LLC is the Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) authorized service provider with proprietary data and expertise. No other vendor is authorized or capable of performing the required services. The acquisition will be a Firm-Fixed Price award, deemed fair and reasonable based on market research. The contract period is from December 22, 2025, to February 24, 2026. This sole source is critical as there are no functional spare EDG governors, and ship deployment requires operational spares.
