Quick Summary

The Department of the Navy, specifically the Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC), has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Shipyard Support Services on the USS FORREST SHERMAN (DDG 98). This procurement is for the AIT installation of ShipAlt 94285K, RAM MK 31 MOD 5 GMWS (RCC 4N) in Norfolk, VA. The work is being awarded to BAE Systems, Norfolk, VA, due to unusual and compelling urgency and the need to integrate with an existing contract.

Scope of Work

The work involves providing Shipyard Support Services for the AIT installation of ShipAlt 94285K, RAM MK 31 MOD 5 GMWS (RCC 4N) on the USS FORREST SHERMAN (DDG 98), in accordance with Specification Item 980-90-017. This effort is funded by Fiscal Year 2026 Other Procurement, Navy (OPN) funds.

Contract & Timeline

  • Type: Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition
  • Contractor: BAE Systems, Norfolk, VA (under Contract Number N00024-26-C-4403)
  • Funding: Fiscal Year 2026 Other Procurement, Navy (OPN) funds
  • Published Date: March 24, 2026
  • Place of Performance: Norfolk, VA

Justification for Sole Source

The justification for not using full and open competition is based on:

  • Unusual and Compelling Urgency: The work is critical to the USS FORREST SHERMAN's operational schedule and must be completed during its current Dry-Docking Depot Modernization Availability.
  • Integration with Existing Contract: The support services are required for an installation already under contract with BAE Systems.
  • Critical Timing: The work must commence by a specified date to integrate into the existing complex work package, ensuring the ship meets scheduled operational commitments and national mission requirements.
  • Unacceptable Delays: A full and open competition would cause unacceptable delays, disrupting the schedule and preventing the ship from meeting critical dates, including the Combat Systems Light off date. Market research was not conducted due to this urgency, identifying BAE Systems as the only capable contractor.

Future Considerations

For similar future acquisitions, the Contracting Officer will review the process to promote fair competition. A copy of this justification will be forwarded for consideration in future solicitations.
