Senate Recommended T-AO 187

Program Be Opened To Second

Source Competition

Senate Armed Services Commit- tee recommended that the Navy seriously consider establishing a second source for the TAO fleet oiler program. Avondale has re- ceived contracts for four of these ships. Three are authorized for FY 1985. According to NAVSEA,

Navy's plan is to open the next flight of T-AO's to industrywide competition.

Senate Recommended Engines

Be Competed In Future T-AO's

Colt-Pielstick was chosen to supply diesel prime movers for the first four T-AO fleet oilers. The

Senate Armed Services Committee has recommended that Navy seek to compete the engine contract for follow-on requirements. This com- petition is to be held within "the funding constraints that exist within current Navy planning for follow-on engines." Allis-Chal- mers—M.A.N./B&W diesel and

DeLaval-Stork Werkspoor were the two competitors to Colt-Pielstick in the original T-AO engine competition.

According to NAVSEA, Navy will require that competing en- gines be manufactured in this country. This will present diffi- culty to diesel manufacturers wishing to compete—as Colt has already received a sizable technol- ogy transfer grant to tool up for domestic manufacture. Other com- panies will need to make an in- vestment in facilities. Seems unfair!

House Cancelled FFG Funded

Last Year And Reprogrammed

Funds For FY 1985 Trident

Procurement

The House Committee recom- mended cancellation of the FFG frigate placed in the SCN procure- ment program by Congress last year (see IMA's first update—ex- cerpted November 15, 1983 MR/

EN). Funds previously appropri- ated ($300 million) would be transferred to the FY 1985 Tri- dent program. Navy had advised the Committee that the FFG with improvements specified for the FY 1984 ship would cost $473 mil- lion—$173 million over the origi- nal estimate.

This action was not taken by

Senate and the subject will be taken up by conferees.

Todd in its 1 April 1984 Annual

Report states "the Los Angeles Di- vision expects to receive a contract shortly for an additional FFG . . ."

This contract is projected to add $100 million to Todd's backlog.

Cancellation of the ship will hurt!

Provision For Cost Growth In

FY 1985 Procurement Has Been

Eliminated

The original Administration budget request provided $187 for potential cost growth to offset pro- gram cost increases beyond Navy control. Both House and Senate eliminated this budget item. The

Administration also eliminated it from the amended request in May.

Reason given for this action is the continuing success in staying within budget.

House And Senate Conferees

Have Been Meeting To Work

Out Differences Between The

Two Bills

For ship procurement the differ- ence between the House and Sen- ate authorization bills are rela- tively minor: • Senate has authorized more funds than House for BB 63

Missouri reactivation • There is a small difference in funding level for the 2 T-

AGOS's • Senate added $25 million to repricing and deleted $3.5 million in contractor support • House has cancelled FFG au- thorized in FY 1984 and transferred funds to Trident program; Senate has not taken this action

The conference report will be sent to both House and Senate for vote, presumably before Congress ad- journs for July recess. 2. DEVELOPMENTS IN
