Next Generation SSGTG FADC

The contract award for the Next Generation SSGTG FADC system was issued to Woodward, Inc. under a sole-source, non-competitive procurement justified under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) due to the proprietary nature of Woodward’s hardware and software, the absence of technical data rights held by the government, and the lack of any other responsible source capable of providing the system. The contract, identified as N64498-23-D-0001, is an indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) firm-fixed-price agreement with a 60-month ordering period ending February 14, 2028, and a total estimated value of $45,097,161. The procurement replaces obsolete Full Authority Digital Control units on Ship Service Gas Turbine Generators aboard U.S. Navy vessels, retaining interoperability with existing interfaces while enhancing cybersecurity, reliability, and long-term supportability through modernized components identified by part numbers 9900-1041 and 9900-1043. Up to 123 units of each part number may be ordered over the life of the contract, with non-recurring engineering services included to support configuration-specific integration with NAVSEA. The place of performance is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at the contractor’s facility, and the Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division serves as the contracting activity under the Department of Defense, with technical oversight provided by NAVSEA. No competitive evaluation factors were applied, and the acquisition did not utilize any set-aside programs. The contract does not include detailed packaging, marking, or bar-coding requirements in the available documentation, nor does it specify FOB terms, payment details, or invoicing methods. No representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status disclosures from Woodward, Inc. are provided, and no special contract requirements such as security clearances, key personnel qualifications, or organizational conflict of interest provisions are formally documented. The solicitation closed on April 24, 2025, and was issued through the SAM.gov portal with electronic submission expected.
