Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition

NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support in Mechanicsburg, PA is seeking to contract a sole source vendor for the refurbishment and repair of two 10 kW Motor Generator Sets, with an option for an additional unit. These repairs are critical to supporting the TRIDENT Planned Equipment Replacement Program, which maintains Ohio Class submarines. The acquisition will be conducted using FAR Part 15 contracting by negotiation procedures, with a Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) Rating of DX. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 335312, which pertains to motor and generator manufacturing, and the business size standard is 1,250 employees. Due to the nature of the work, competitive sourcing isn’t feasible because the required repair data is only available from the original manufacturer and cannot be economically or practically obtained from other sources. This contract will be issued under the sole source authority of FAR 6.302-1, reflecting that only one source is capable of providing the required supplies or services. The solicitation number is N00104-26-R-Z052 and is expected to be made available about 15 days after the initial posting on January 12, 2026, with responses due by January 28, 2026. Interested parties can obtain more information electronically, and the point of contact for this opportunity is Jeffrey Dietrich from NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support. The sole source rationale cites the repair being a follow-on to prior repairs directly from the actual manufacturer, underscoring the unique nature of this requirement.
