US Navy Submarine EDG Global Repair Contract

This contract is a sole-source Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) awarded to Fairbanks Morse Defense under statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) to provide original equipment manufacturer services for the repair, maintenance, and technical support of Emergency Diesel Generators (EDGs) on U.S. Navy submarines, specifically Los Angeles, Seawolf, and Ohio class vessels. The scope covers global shipboard and in-shop services including full overhauls, block repairs, lube oil system flushes, lifecycle maintenance, and emergency response, with all work requiring exclusive use of Fairbanks Morse proprietary technical data, certified technicians, and OEM parts. The contract has an estimated total value of $99,721,951 funded through Operations and Maintenance, Navy accounts over FY26–FY28, supported by 103,752 estimated labor hours and justified by the unique and irreplaceable nature of Fairbanks Morse’s proprietary systems and expertise, which no other entity can replicate. Performance is primarily conducted at in-shop facilities in Wisconsin, with contract administration handled by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division, and acceptance occurring at both repair sites and aboard submarines where systems are restored to operational readiness. The procurement is structured as a firm-fixed-price BOA with no competitive solicitation, consistent with prior non-competitive contracting and confirmed by market research showing no viable alternatives. Packaging, marking, preservation, invoicing methods, and specific delivery terms are not detailed in the available documentation, nor are standard FAR clauses, evaluation factors, or offeror representations included, as the award is predicated on statutory sole-source authority rather than competitive procedures. The contract’s authority expires on June 29, 2029, and future requirements are expected to follow the same non-competitive model unless an alternative source with equivalent proprietary capabilities emerges. Payment is managed by the contracting office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and technical oversight is conducted by the In-Service Engineering Agent, with no publicly listed contracting officer, COR, or COTR identified. All repair and maintenance activities rely entirely on Fairbanks Morse Defense’s exclusive ownership of technical information and certification processes, ensuring compliance with Navy mission-critical standards for EDG reliability and safety.
