Quick Summary

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Philadelphia District (NAP) has issued a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) to increase the capacity of the existing Architect-Engineering (A/E) Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) W912BU-22-D-0014. This action raises the contract value from $15M to $19M, adding $4M to ensure continued support for the Marine Design Center's (MDC) dredge vessel design projects.

Scope of Change

This modification primarily impacts the contract's financial capacity. The additional $4M is designated to cover three modifications to existing Task Orders (TOs) and six new TOs, along with a contingency for unforeseen needs. The A/E services provided under this SATOC include engineering support and design work for the MDC, specifically for various Dredge Vessel Design and Engineering projects. This includes support for the replacement of JADWIN and POTTER Dustpan Dredges, assistance for a replacement vessel for the CURRITUCK dredge, reliability upgrades for the YAQUINA dredge, and support for multiple "Mega Projects" valued at approximately $750M.

Justification
