NOAA Ship Nancy Foster SSDG Fuel Injectors and Tur

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Cummins Inc. to procure main engine fuel injectors and turbochargers for the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster. The generators on the ship have reached their 10,000-hour maintenance window, and the renewal of fuel injectors and turbochargers is required to maintain the engines in accordance with ABS standards and OEM recommendations. The contract will be for the procurement of OEM parts, which are unique or highly specialized to NOAA's Office of Marine and Aviation's mission. Some key points to consider include: • The procurement is for a sole source contract, which means that only one company, Cummins Inc., will be considered for the contract. • The contract is for the procurement of main engine fuel injectors and turbochargers, which are critical components for the ship's engines. • The maintenance is required to maintain the engines in accordance with ABS standards and OEM recommendations. • The contract will be negotiated on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 6.103.
