    Title
    Posted
    The Naval Sea Systems Command seeks approval for a sole source contract with Curtiss-Wright Chesapeake Branch for the technical oversight and repair of three Main Engine High Pressure Turbines on a US Navy Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. This action is justified under 41 U.S.C. 1901 and aligns with FAR 13.5 simplified acquisition procedures, as Curtiss-Wright is the only source possessing the proprietary drawings and OEM standards necessary for the turbines' repair, following its acquisition of Dresser Rand. The scope includes comprehensive repair tasks, such as induction heating services, non-destructive testing, and overhaul documentation, all mandated to ensure the turbines are restored to operational standards. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated costs to be fair and reasonable, based on prior market research confirming that no alternative vendors can meet the required specifications. The solicitation of other offers was deemed impractical due to Curtiss-Wright's exclusivity. Although competitive opportunities may arise in the future, the agency currently sees no feasible options to facilitate competition for this contract. This sole source justification underscores the essential role Curtiss-Wright plays in maintaining mission-critical maritime systems.
    The document outlines a Statement of Work (SOW) for the overhaul of the CVN 71 aircraft carrier's Main Engine High Pressure Turbines, specifically for No. 2, 3, and 4 engines. The Puget Sound Naval Shipyard seeks the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to provide technical assistance, including oversight and repair services according to OEM specifications. Work will occur at Naval Air Station, North Island, between December 9, 2024, and May 16, 2025. Key requirements include providing technical guidance, equipment for specific tasks such as turbine fastener removal, and completing numerous Condition Found Reports (CFRs) throughout the overhaul process. The contractor must meet strict security requirements under the Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) for access control. Deliverables include various reports evidencing oversight, such as Clearance and Overhaul Reports (COR) and Final Closeout Condition Reports (FCCR), demonstrating adherence to quality assurance protocols. The document serves to ensure high operational standards and security compliance, emphasizing the significance of manufacturer expertise in complex naval engine maintenance and the governmental need for thorough oversight and documentation throughout the project.
