Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is Attachment 3, an "Other Than Full and Open Justification" for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (less than $250K). It explains the rationale for soliciting from a single source.

• Supplies/Services: Refurbishment of Submarine Diesel Engine Governors by OEM.
• Period of Performance: 30 April 2026 through 30 September 2026.
• Intended Use: Replacement of installed governors on waterfront units.
• Vendor: Woodward INC, with contact information provided.
• Rationale for Sole Source: The justification box is checked for "Sole Source" because Submarine Diesel Engines exclusively use Woodward Governors, and there are no substitutes. These governors are essential for the proper operation of emergency power sources on submarines.

This document indicates that the upcoming solicitation for Submarine Diesel Engine Governor refurbishment will likely be a sole-source procurement from Woodward INC. Bidders should note that this justification is based on the unique and specialized nature of the governors for submarine emergency power systems, and that "brand name or equal" descriptions cannot be used.
