The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) is 336611. JUSTIFICATION for other than full and open completion is: There are two complete sets propeller blades that are owned by the Philadelphia District. One of these sets is now in service on the Dredge McFARLAND, and the remaining eight are now at the Rolls Royce Naval Marine (RRNM) facility in Pascagoula, Mississippi, having undergone a pre- repair inspection. The blades now in service were made in 2007, while the blades now at RRNM storage came with the vessel when it was transferred from Jacksonville District to the Philadelphia District in 1982. RRNM has performed all propeller blade repairs since 1990. This is due to a previous contractor having performed improper repairs to the blades, resulting in the blades having to be repaired on an expedited basis - at a significant cost to the Government - while the vessel was on drydock at Bender Shipbuilding in Mobile, Alabama. The aforementioned improper repairs were in the area of the blade face, which is the most critical area on the entire propeller blade. This is the area that mates with the propeller hub. It is extremely important that this area is repaired properly. The blade rests on a blade seal base ring, in which are built-in recesses for two oil seal O-rings. These O-rings prevent any oil from leaking from the hubs into the water. Any sharp edges, burrs or grooves in this area could cause a tear in the O-rings, as the blade rotates on them. Replacement of any defective blade seals would necessitate an emergency drydocking, at considerable cost to the Government both in repair costs and loss of plant rental income resulting from the downtime and inability to perform required dredging operations. It also should be noted that such a situation is an U.S. Coast Guard pollution violation. The drawing used in the repair of the propeller blades is a proprietary Rolls Royce Naval Marine Drawing, No. E102SK01001. Also, the Government does not possess any jigs or dummy hubs to check measurements, fit of the blades, or balance during the repair or after receipt at Fort Mifflin. These tasks have typically been the responsibility of the contractor.
