Other / Unclassified

This document contains certifications and approval signatures related to a procurement justification. It includes:

• Technical/Requirements Certification: A certification by a Contracting Officer's Representative that the facts and representations in the justification and supporting documents are accurate.
• Legal Sufficiency Review: A determination by Legal Counsel that the justification is legally sufficient.
• Contracting Officer Certification: A certification by the Acting Division Director/Contracting Officer recommending approval of the proposed procurement using other than full and open competition, citing authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2).

This document indicates that a justification for other than full and open competition has been reviewed and approved internally by the Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center. Bidders should note that this suggests the upcoming solicitation may not be a full and open competition, which could impact their ability to participate.

Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document justifies and seeks approval to extend the period of performance for Contract N39430-20-D-2209, "Waterfront Facilities Inspection (WFI) and Assessment Region 3 Architect-Engineer (A-E) Services," awarded to Lloyd Collins Joint Venture. The extension is for six months, from February 11, 2026, to August 11, 2026.

The contract covers waterfront facilities inspection and assessment services for Department of War (DoW) facilities in Region 3 (Southwest, Hawaii, and Gulf Coast). Services include underwater and above-water inspections, material condition assessments, and engineering/design services for sustainment, restoration, modernization, and military projects at DoW waterfront and ocean facilities.

• Current Contract: N39430-20-D-2209, Waterfront Facilities Inspection (WFI) and Assessment Region 3 Architect-Engineer (A-E) Services.
• Incumbent Contractor: Lloyd Collins Joint Venture.
• Original Period of Performance: February 12, 2020, to February 11, 2025.
• Current Extension: February 12, 2025, to February 11, 2026.
• Requested Extension: Six months, from February 12, 2026, to August 11, 2026.
• Funding: Anticipated FY26 Operations & Maintenance, Navy (O&MN) funds.

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for extending an existing contract, not a solicitation for new proposals. The rationale for this extension is to prevent a critical gap in essential WFI services due to delays in the follow-on contract award.

• The current contract was competitively procured.

• The follow-on contract is anticipated to be a competitive small business set-aside, Single Award IDIQ A-E contract, expected to be awarded by May 2026.

• The statutory authority cited for this other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(2), "Unusual and Compelling Urgency."

• The extension is necessary because the incumbent contractor is the only source capable of providing these critical services without interruption, and NAVFAC EXWC lacks in-house resources for this specialized work.

• The proposed contract action was not synopsized on SAM.gov due to an applicable exception (FAR 5.202(a)(2)), but the approved J&A will be posted within 30 days of award.
