Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy has published a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (OTFOC) for modifications to an existing contract related to the USNS CODY (T-EPF 14) Regular Overhaul and Dry Docking (ROH/DD). This action, performed in North Charleston, SC, is driven by unusual and compelling urgency to incorporate critical regulatory compliance work without delaying the vessel's mission readiness. This notice is for informational purposes and does not represent a new solicitation.
Opportunity Details
This document serves as a Class Justification and Approval (J&A) for the use of other than full and open competition, specifically under the authority of 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(2) for unusual and compelling urgency. The J&A pertains to modifications for contract N3220526C1220, which covers the Regular Overhaul and Dry Docking of the USNS CODY (T-EPF 14). The place of performance is North Charleston, SC.
Scope of Modifications
The modifications are necessary to incorporate work items required for regulatory compliance from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and American Bureau of Shipping. Specific services detailed in the enclosure include:
- Sewage Plant Maintenance 2.5YR: Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) conducting 2.5-year maintenance.
- Annual Integrated Bridge Equipment Service and Certification: Installation of a Special Project Modification (SP Mod) for UNREP and Bridge Electronic Mod.
Contract Information
- Original Contract Number: N3220526C1220
- Original Award Date: January 30, 2026
- Original Value: $11,028,108.00
- Period of Performance: March 30, 2026, through June 12, 2026
- Set-Aside: None (Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition)
- Published Date: April 13, 2026
Rationale for OTFOC
The decision to proceed with other than full and open competition is based on the critical timeline. Competitively soliciting these additional work items would require an estimated 381 days lead time plus repair time, leading to significant delays in the vessel's departure and mission readiness. The estimated loss to the Government for each day of delay is $78,062.00. The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost for these modifications to be fair and reasonable.
Future Outlook
The Government intends to develop a technical data package or performance specification to support future competition for similar requirements, indicating a potential for competitive opportunities in the long term.
