Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition

NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Mechanicsburg, PA plans to issue a sole source solicitation for the refurbishment and repair of two 70 kW Motor Generator Sets, supporting the TRIDENT Planned Equipment Replacement Program (TRIPER) for Ohio Class submarines. This repair contract falls under the NAICS code 335312 for Motor and Generator Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,250 employees. Due to the specialized nature of the equipment and the lack of available data for competitive acquisition, the government intends to negotiate directly with the original manufacturer under FAR Part 15 and FAR 6.302-1 authorities, citing the inability to draft adequate competitive specifications or obtain the necessary data economically. The solicitation, identified by number N00104-26-R-Z051, will be released electronically approximately 15 days after the initial posting date of January 12, 2026. The procurement will be carried out with a DPAS rating of DX to prioritize national defense needs. Interested parties will be able to review the solicitation once the synopsis period concludes, with a response deadline set for January 28, 2026. The contract action is specifically for the repair services to be performed by the sole source vendor, with the point of contact for this procurement listed as Jeffrey Dietrich at NAVSUP WSS.
