Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, Mid Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center has published a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity to award a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) delivery order to Colonna's Shipyard Incorporated. This action, under IDIQ Contract N00024-22-D-4413, is for urgent new work on a vessel's Mid bank Collection Holding and Transfer (CHT) system in Norfolk, VA.
Purpose & Justification
This document justifies limiting the source to Colonna's Shipyard due to an urgent and compelling need, citing FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(A). The work addresses a casualty impacting crew quality of life and the vessel's mission capability. A competitive award process, estimated at 60 days, would cause unacceptable delays, disrupting fleet training and deployment schedules. Colonna's Shipyard is identified as the only company capable of performing this urgent work on short notice.
Scope of Work
The required work involves addressing new issues discovered after the initial package award, specifically related to the vessel's CHT system. This is critical to resolve a casualty and ensure the vessel's operational readiness. The work will be funded through Fiscal Year 2026 Operations and Maintenance (OM&N) funds and must adhere to specific start and completion dates.
