How to respond to the Navy’s Rolls-Royce Marine Gas Turbine notice
What the Navy is buying
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division intends to award Rolls-Royce Marine North America a sole-source contract for Rolls-Royce marine gas turbine engines and related shipboard auxiliary systems used across the U.S. Navy.
The expected contract is a cost-plus-fixed-fee, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract, with a 60-month ordering period and a 72-month performance period. This notice is an opportunity to share capabilities, not a request for competitive proposals.
Deadline and what happens next
The notice was published October 27, 2026. The deadline for responses is November 11, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET.
The Navy says it will consider information received before the closing date, normally to decide whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The decision whether to compete the proposed contract is at the Government’s discretion.
Who this opportunity may suit
This notice may interest businesses able to explain relevant capabilities for Rolls-Royce marine gas turbine engines and their related shipboard auxiliary systems.
The Navy states that Rolls-Royce Marine North America owns the proprietary designs, drawings, and processes, and is the only contractor qualified to perform the stated work. Interested businesses should treat this as a chance to communicate capability, not as an open competition.
