Quick Summary

This notice is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) to increase the maximum contract ceiling for the existing Campus-wide Maintenance Contract (CMC) IDIQ #693JF723D000002 at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA), Kings Point, NY. This action ensures continuous essential maintenance services due to unforeseen conditions and ongoing modernization efforts. The original contract was a 100% Small Business Set-Aside. A Request for Information (RFI) for a follow-on contract will be issued.

Purpose & Scope

The Maritime Administration (MARAD) requires an increase to the Total Estimated Potential Value (TEPV) of the current CMC IDIQ, held by The Building People / J&J Worldwide Services, LLC. This modification supports continuous campus maintenance services, including emergency, preventive, and corrective maintenance on critical infrastructure, and the integration of new systems (e.g., Building Automation System, geothermal upgrades, fiber optics) into maintenance schedules. The JOFOC cites statutory authority 41 U.S.C. § 3304(a)(1) and FAR 6.103-1, justifying the action to avoid significant disruption, delays, and risks to the Academy's accreditation.
