Goodrich Advanced Propulsor Bearings

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has a requirement for Goodrich Corporation advanced propulsor bearing (APB) components.  The compliant material is available solely from Goodrich Corporation, as the only vendor capable of supplying the proprietary material is Goodrich.  The NAICS code is 336611 and the business size is 1,300 employees. The proposed purchase order is being solicited on a sole-source basis to Goodrich Corporation.  The proposed action is for APB components, for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii).  The basis for restricting competition is for the following reasons: Goodrich Corporation is the only source of the required material that can meet the Government’s schedule.  The NSWCCD intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order to Goodrich Corporation using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Interested parties may identify their interest to this requirement by submitting a capabilities statement no later than 12:00PM July 22 2026.  This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals.  However, all responses received by 12:00PM Noon on 07/22/2026 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.  Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
