    CUI A12 Sole Source Justification CVN 71 ME Turbines 2 3 and 4 Rev 1_ Redacted_Redacted.pdf
    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.
