28--LM2500 Marine Gas Turbine Engine

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division in Philadelphia plans to procure a total of 123 items related to the LM2500 Gas Turbine Engine, including 88 blades for the High-Pressure Turbine Stage 1 (GE Part No. L31424G28), 31 nozzles for the same stage (GE Part No. L31033G07), one additional nozzle variant (GE Part No. L31033G08), and three lube oil fittings (GE Part No. L42842G05). This acquisition will be conducted through a firm fixed price order under an existing Basic Order Agreement with General Electric Company, specifically the General Aircraft Engines Company of Cincinnati, OH. The procurement is intended to proceed as a sole-source action under FAR 6.302-1 due to the unique nature of the supplies. Although the government intends to negotiate only with General Electric, the notice allows other interested parties to express their interest or submit proposals within 15 days of the publication date. However, this notice does not constitute a request for competitive proposals, and the decision to engage in competitive procurement remains at the discretion of the government based on responses received. The contract pertains to the Department of Defense’s Nswc Carderock office, headquartered in Bethesda, MD. The overall effort is classified as a presolicitation notification, informing potential sources and enabling the government to assess market capability before finalizing procurement actions.
