Motor Vessel Dredge Jadwin Engine Overhauls

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Vicksburg District, specifically the River Operations Division, has awarded a sole-source contract to NRE Power Systems, Inc. for the major overhaul of three 12-645-F7B EMD 2,550 horsepower engines on the M/V Dredge Jadwin. This critical maintenance work is essential for the 2021 dredging season on the Mississippi River. The procurement was conducted under solicitation number W912EE21P0009 with NAICS code 811310, and the performance of the work is located in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The contract was awarded without full and open competition under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(2) and FAR Subpart 13.5, specifically 13.501(a)(2)(i). This sole-source justification was based on the urgency of the requirement and the fact that previous competitive solicitation efforts failed to produce awardable quotes. The project is managed by the Department of Defense through the W07V Endist Vicksburg office.
