29--Two (2) GTas Turbine Electric Start Systems (GT-ESS) for the LM2500 Gas Turbine Engine

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, located in Bethesda, Maryland, plans to procure two GTas Turbine Electric Start Systems (GT-ESS) specifically for the LM2500 Gas Turbine Engine. The acquisition will be executed through a firm-fixed-price order under the existing Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) N00383-02-G-002J with Hamilton Sunstrand, rather than through a standalone firm-fixed-price contract with Hamilton Sundstrand as previously indicated. This correction emphasizes the administrative adjustment in the contracting approach to streamline the procurement process. This opportunity was announced as a presolicitation in early March 2005 and falls under the Department of Defense’s Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division. The contract aims to fulfill the Navy’s requirements for reliable start systems to support gas turbine operations. While specific set-aside types or NAICS codes were not designated, the firm-fixed-price nature of the order suggests a clear budget and scope for the procurement, aligning with established government contracting protocols for defense-related engine start system components.
