Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy / Naval Facilities and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC) has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for other than full and open competition to increase the ceiling of the existing Single Award Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract N39430-23-D-4050, "Ocean Infrastructure Support Services," awarded to Oceanetics, Inc. This action increases the contract's capacity by $20,000,000.00, raising the total ceiling from $129,990,000.00 to $149,990,000.00. The justification cites unusual and compelling urgency to prevent severe jeopardy to critical Navy capabilities.
Scope of Work
The existing contract provides essential engineering and technical support solutions for NAVFAC EXWC's Oceans Programs. Services include the provision of vessels, vessel services, engineering, logistical support, facility support, environmental support, and equipment. Work is performed in marine and nearshore locations across all water depths. Approximately twenty (20) projects are planned for FY26, with an estimated total value of $49,000,000.00, encompassing activities such as offshore test and equipment recovery, cable route planner conversion, system development, hardware prototyping, vessel and custodian support, logistic depot, and vessel repair.

Evaluation & Submission
This document is a justification for an existing contract modification, not a solicitation. Therefore, no proposal submission instructions or evaluation criteria are provided.
Additional Notes
The justification relies on 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) and FAR 6.302-2 (Unusual and Compelling Urgency). Due to the urgency, no market research was conducted for this specific ceiling increase. A competitive follow-on contract for Ocean Infrastructure Support Services is anticipated by September 2026. This future opportunity is planned as a single award IDIQ contract with a small business set-aside. The approved J&A will be posted on SAM.gov within 30 days after the contract modification award.
