Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy has published a Justification and Approval (J&A) for the use of other than full and open competition to modify contract N3220526C1226 for the Regular Overhaul Drydocking (ROH/DD) Availability of the USNS LARAMIE (T-AO 203). This J&A addresses additional work items required due to regulatory compliance and previously unknown deficiencies, necessitating an extension of the period of performance.
Scope of Change
This J&A covers modifications to an existing contract, originally awarded on February 26, 2026, for $18,205,703.00. Key changes include:
- Revised Period of Performance: Extended from April 20, 2026 - July 29, 2026, to April 23, 2026 - August 01, 2026.
- Additional Work Items: Required to comply with U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and American Bureau of Shipping regulations. These deficiencies were unknown prior to the start of ship repair work and require immediate action.
- CCO 005: Underwater Hull Cleaning & Painting (spot preservation).
- CCO 006: Roller Curtain Door Installation (USCG requirement for fire zone boundary).
- CCO 007: Cargo Console Inspection (mission essential).
- CCO 009: P&S Strut RTD Troubleshoot (mission essential for monitoring bearing temperatures).
- Funding: Total estimated dollar value for these additional work items will be funded by fiscal year 2026 Operations and Maintenance, Navy (O&M,N) funds.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification for Modification (Other than Full and Open Competition)
- Original Contract Award: February 26, 2026, for $18,205,703.00
- Revised Period of Performance: April 23, 2026 - August 01, 2026
- Published Date: April 30, 2026
- Set-Aside: None specified (for existing contract modification)
Justification & Impact
The J&A justifies awarding these modifications under the existing contract due to "unusual and compelling urgency." It aims to avoid significant delays and financial losses to the Government, estimated at $80,073,627.00 for a 381-day delay if a separate competitive acquisition were pursued. The government anticipates developing a technical data package or performance specification to support future competition for similar items.
