The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to award a sole source modification to Lockheed Martin (LM) Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS), 199 Borton Landing Rd, Moorestown, NJ 08057 under Contract N00024-11-C-2300. The modification will increase the value of the Detail Design and Construction Contract to accommodate scope to manage the emergent repair of the USS WICHITA (LCS 13) Main Propulsion Diesel Engine (MPDE) in conjunction with correction of the combining gear latent defect which resides in the same space within the hull. LM has a thorough knowledge of the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) FREEDOM variant build specification requirements and design as the original prime contractor, along with experience in critical propulsion system issues which span multiple subcontractors. This expertise is critical to providing the required level of design, engineering, and programmatic integration for this effort. Additionally, LM has past performance completing similar repairs on other FREEDOM variant ships during Post Shakedown Availability (PSA). For these reasons, LM is the only source who can integrate and execute the complex MPDE efforts and the combining gear resolution in tandem to prevent unacceptable schedule impacts. Therefore, the contract will be awarded pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), only one or a limited number of responsible sources and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302 for this proposed contract action. For subcontracting opportunities, please contact Lockheed Martin.
