This contract pertains to the annual synopsis of a basic ordering agreement with Rolls-Royce Marine North America for the repair of Navy propellers. The agreement covers the evaluation and repair of propellers ranging from 7 to 23 feet in diameter and weighing up to 90,000 pounds, servicing combatant and auxiliary ships. The contract period is from January 31, 2013, through April 18, 2013, and includes repair orders issued by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUPWSS). Individual repair orders valued over $25,000 will be publicly synopsized in accordance with federal acquisition regulations. The contract is awarded under authority 10 USC 2304(c)(1) because the government lacks the proprietary data required to competitively solicit these repairs.

NAVSUPWSS has outlined guidance for alternative product offerings under solicitation language LA27LN for companies interested in supplying these items. The procurement supports the Department of Defense’s continued maintenance of naval vessels and ensures access to specialized repair capabilities necessary for maintaining fleet readiness. The contract is classified under NAICS code 336611 and managed by the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support office located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
