J--Annual Synopsis of Repair of Navy Propellers Ranging in size form 7 to 23 feet in diameter and weight up to 90,000 pounds

This contract pertains to an annual basic ordering agreement (BOA) for the repair of Navy propellers, specifically covering orders from January 31, 2011, through January 31, 2012. The agreement is with Johnson's Ship Propeller in Portsmouth, VA, and addresses the evaluation and repair of propellers ranging from 7 to 23 feet in diameter and weighing up to 90,000 pounds. It serves as a pre-solicitation synopsis for repair orders issued by the Naval Inventory Control Point (NAVICP). Individual repair orders exceeding $25,000 will be announced following federal acquisition regulations. Due to the specialized nature of the work, orders under this agreement are issued under 10 USC 2304(c)(1), indicating that the government lacks adequate data to conduct competitive bidding. Johnson's Ship Propeller, along with Pacific Marine and a small number of other companies, are among the select few with the necessary equipment, facilities, and expertise to handle repairs of varying complexity for combatant and auxiliary ship propellers. The contract follows NAVICP solicitation guidance, including provisions for alternative products from interested suppliers. The Department of Defense's Navsup Weapon Systems Support Mech office oversees this contract from Mechanicsburg, PA, under the NAICS code 336611, which covers ship propeller and related repair services.
