Main Propulsion Diesel Engine Spare Parts

Solicitation N6883626P0015 is a sole source procurement issued by the Navsup Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville for the acquisition of spare parts for the Main Propulsion Diesel Engine Keep Warm System. These components are critical for the maintenance and operational readiness of the USS MINNEAPOLIS SAINT PAUL (SSN 708) to prevent propulsion system disruptions during deployment. The procurement is justified under FAR 13.501(a) and 41 U.S.C. 1901, as Fairbanks Morse Defense is the only responsible source with the proprietary rights and exclusive licensing agreements with MAN Diesel and Turbo to provide OEM-compliant parts for the specified engine types. The contract is managed by Contracting Officer Chelsea McNeely, with a required delivery date of November 18, 2026, and a place of performance in Florida. Market research, including a sources sought notice posted on SAM.gov in February 2026, yielded no other capable sources, confirming the necessity of a non-competitive award. While the action is identified as being below the simplified acquisition threshold, specific pricing and total contract value were not disclosed. Technical compatibility and distribution rights are verified through OEM certification letters from Fairbanks Morse Defense.
