    The Department of the Navy is seeking to award a sole-source contract to Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Division (CW-EMD) for refurbishment services of a Rotational Deployment Mechanism (RDM) in support of the USS Colorado (SSN-788). This contract, valued at $397,837.50, will cover inspections, repairs, painting, and testing of the secondary propulsion system, with a performance period from September 30, 2024, to September 29, 2025. The justification for using other than full and open competition cites that CW-EMD possesses proprietary procedures and equipment necessary for the refurbishment, which are not available to other entities. Market research conducted indicated no other qualified vendors able to fulfill the requirements. The Contracting Officer has determined the pricing to be fair and reasonable, using prior contracts as benchmarks. Future competition will be evaluated when constructing new vessels, considering whether components will remain the OEM's property. The document highlights the Navy's commitment to maintaining operational capabilities while addressing proprietary limitations in competitive contracting.
