USNS ROBERT E. PEARY ROH (T-AKE 5) Regular Overhaul (ROH)

Class Justification and Approval (J&A)

This document approves the use of other than full and open competition for modifications to contract N3220526C1221. The modifications are for the Regular Overhaul of the USNS ROBERT E. PEARY (T-AKE 5) and incorporate work items necessary to comply with regulatory requirements from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and American Bureau of Shipping.

• Incorporation of work items needed to comply with regulatory requirements.

• Repairs to address deficiencies identified during preparation for inspection by the U.S. Coast Guard and American Bureau of Shipping.

• Work must be completed to attain Operational Availability and maintain vessel configuration.

• The original contract was competitively awarded.

• The modifications are being added under the existing contract N3220526C1221.

• The contract value for these modifications is $17,517,910.00.

• Funding is from fiscal year 2026 Operations and Maintenance, Navy (O&M,N) funds.

• The original period of performance was April 1, 2026, through June 1, 2026.

• The revised period of performance is May 18, 2026, through July 19, 2026.

• This J&A justifies using other than full and open competition, citing "Unusual and compelling urgency" (10 U.S.C 3204(a)(2)).

• Competitively soliciting these work items is deemed not feasible due to the significant delay (381 days procurement lead time plus repair time) it would cause, resulting in estimated losses of $193,993.00 per day.

• The current status of the vessel (interferences removed, staging installed, equipment open) presents the most cost-effective opportunity for maintenance and repairs.

• Not applicable, as this is a justification for other than full and open competition.

• A pre-solicitation notice was posted on SAM.gov on August 20, 2025, and the award notice on January 29, 2026.

• The government expects to develop a technical data package or performance specification to support future competition for similar items.

• The authority for this Class J&A expires one year after approval by the Competition Advocate.

This document is a Class Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition. It approves modifications to an existing contract (N3220526C1221) with Detyens Shipyards, Inc. for the Regular Overhaul of the USNS ROBERT E. PEARY (T-AKE 5).

This J&A explains why the government is using other than full and open competition for specific work items needed to comply with regulatory requirements from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and American Bureau of Shipping. The original contract was awarded on January 29, 2026, for $17,517,910.00. The work items are necessary to address deficiencies found during preparations for inspections, which must be completed before the vessel's revised period of performance ends on July 19, 2026. The government asserts that competitively soliciting these additional work items would cause significant delays and incur substantial costs (estimated at $193,993.00 per day).

The document indicates that a pre-solicitation notice was posted on SAM.gov on August 20, 2025, and the award notice on January 29, 2026. The government intends to develop a technical data package or performance specification to support future competition for similar items.
