Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command (MSCHQ NORFOLK) has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for other than full and open competition regarding modifications to contract N3220526C1220. This J&A pertains to the Regular Overhaul and Dry Docking (ROH/DD) of the USNS CODY (T-EPF 14) for Fiscal Year 2026. The purpose is to ensure the vessel's operational availability and mission readiness by addressing critical corrective actions.
Scope of Work
The J&A approves modifications for new work items related to the USNS CODY's ROH/DD. A specific work item identified is WI 0525A - Sewage plant Maintenance 2.5YR, which requires an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to conduct the maintenance.

Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification and Approval for non-competitive contract modifications
- Contract Number: N3220526C1220
- Product/Service Code: J998 - Non Nuclear Ship Repair (East)
- Place of Performance: North Charleston, SC, United States
- Published Date: March 17, 2026
Rationale for Non-Competitive Action
The authority for this action is based on "Unusual and compelling urgency" under 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(2). The rationale states that competitively soliciting these work items is not feasible due to significant lead time requirements, which would cause substantial delays to the vessel's departure and result in considerable daily losses to the Government. The modifications are critical for regulatory compliance, safety, and maintaining operational readiness.
Future Intent
The contracting activity intends to develop a technical data package or performance specification to support future competition for similar items, indicating a move towards competitive procurement for such services in the long term.
