Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document justifies the use of other than full and open competition for a purchase order to procure turbocharger retrofit services for the USNS COMFORT (T-AH 20). The action is being approved for the Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command (MSC).

• Design, procure, and install six turbochargers on the Auxiliary Diesel Generators (ADGs).

• Includes inlet and exhaust compensators, pumps, and all regulatory body approvals.

• The estimated dollar value is to be funded by fiscal year 2026 and 2027 Navy working capital funds.

• The contract will be a firm-fixed-price purchase order.

• The Government intends to post a combined synopsis and solicitation notice.

• The Contracting Officer will determine the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable.

• This action is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) because only one responsible source (MAN Energy Solutions/Everllence) can satisfy the agency's requirements.

• MAN Energy Solutions is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and possesses the proprietary information, tools, and technical expertise required for the retrofit.

• MSC lacks the necessary technical information to evaluate non-OEM components.

• Efforts were made to solicit offers from as many offerors as practicable, with a sources sought posted on Sam.gov from July 3-9, 2025, yielding one response.

• MSC continuously seeks submissions from non-OEM contractors for qualification.

• There are no current plans to allow for non-OEM service providers in future contracts for these specific services, but MSC will assess future competition feasibility.
