Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard IMF, has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for other than full and open competition for the emergent overhaul of an Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) Scavenging Air Blower on a Los Angeles-class submarine. This action is deemed urgent due to unforeseen equipment failure, with Fairbanks Morse identified as the sole source capable of performing the repair as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
Scope of Work
The required work includes:
- Emergent overhaul, inspection, disassembly, and repair of the EDG Scavenging Air Blower.
- Provision of a detailed repair requirement report.
- Completion of an operational test to validate the satisfactory overhaul.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification for Sole-Source Procurement (10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) for "Unusual and compelling urgency")
- Period of Performance: January 29, 2026 – March 31, 2026
- Funding: FY-26 OM&N
- Published: February 27, 2026
- Place of Performance: JBPHH, HI
Eligibility / Set-Aside
This is a justification for a sole-source procurement, not a competitive solicitation. Market research indicated Fairbanks Morse as the only known source due to their OEM status, proprietary equipment, tooling, and technical data. There is no traditional set-aside for this emergent requirement.
Additional Notes
The EDG Blower is critical for the submarine's emergency power and propulsion support. Failure to complete the repair by March 31, 2026, would jeopardize operational commitments. The government intends to identify additional responsible sources and promote competition for future requirements, including posting a sources sought notice.
