Quick Summary

The Department of the Navy / MID ATLANTIC REG MAINT CTR (MARMC) has issued a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity for sustainment services on the YRBM(L)-45 Messing and Berthing Barge. This justification limits the procurement to BAYTEC Marine LLC due to urgent needs under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(A).

Purpose & Scope

This document justifies the sole-source procurement of services to ensure the YRBM(L)-45 can continually support the United States Navy, specifically during a period when a submarine is uninhabitable due to ongoing repairs. The primary work involves the inspection, recharge, and repair of Heating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) units on the YRBM(L)-45. The urgency stems from the barge's continuous support of CNO availabilities without designated maintenance periods, leading to HVAC unit deterioration and potential health risks (heat exhaustion, dizziness, dehydration) for the crew.

Contract Details

  • Type: Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (Sole Source)
  • Product Service Code: J998 (Non Nuclear Ship Repair)
  • Place of Performance: Norfolk, VA, United States
  • Contract Vehicle: Under IDIQ Contract N50054-25-D-0014.
  • Previous Award: BAYTEC Marine LLC was previously awarded delivery order N50524-25-F-5323 on September 5, 2025, for FY25 sustainment.
  • Estimated Cost: Based on historical data, Independent Government Estimate (IGE), and technical knowledge.

Eligibility & Set-Aside

  • Set-Aside: Not applicable, as this is an exception to fair opportunity.

Submission & Evaluation

  • A synopsis has not been issued due to the potential for award delay, which would exacerbate the urgent need.
  • The Contracting Officer has determined the cost to be fair and reasonable.

Additional Notes

Immediate repairs are critical to prevent adverse health effects for the crew. BAYTEC Marine LLC currently has access to the vessel, facilitating immediate support and mitigating further risk. The Department of the Navy intends to review future acquisitions for opportunities for full and open competition.
