This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for the use of other than full and open competition. It seeks approval to extend the period of performance for Contract N39430-20-D-2211, which provides Waterfront Facilities Inspection (WFI) and Assessment Architect-Engineer (A-E) Services for Region 5, Outside the Continental U.S. (OCONUS).

This J&A explains the necessity for a six-month bridge contract extension from February 11, 2026, to August 11, 2026. This extension is required to prevent a critical gap in essential WFI services due to delays in the follow-on contract award. The government lacks in-house resources and specialized expertise to perform this mission-essential work. A lapse in services would pose an unacceptable risk to Navy mission readiness and national security, impacting the sustainment, restoration, and modernization of critical waterfront facilities used for handling fuel, ammunition, and nuclear weapons.

The incumbent contractor is identified as the only source capable of providing these services without interruption. The follow-on contract is planned as a competitive small business set-aside, Single Award IDIQ A-E contract, anticipated to be awarded by May 2026.

This document is relevant to potential bidders as it outlines the ongoing need for WFI services and provides context for the upcoming competitive follow-on contract, including its small business set-aside status.
