Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy / SOUTHWEST REGIONAL MAINT CENTER has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source modification to an existing Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract (N00024-25-C-4422) with National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO). This modification is for an essential TACLOG HVAC Upgrade aboard the USS HARPERS FERRY (LSD 49) during its FY25 Selected Restricted Availability (SRA) in San Diego, CA. This is not a solicitation for new offers.
Scope of Work
The modification incorporates New Work Item 512-11-004: TACLOG HVAC Upgrade. This upgrade is critical to mitigate a significant heat issue caused by new Intelligence Carry-On Program (ICOP) equipment, which poses a risk of overheating to vital Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) systems. The work includes HVAC System R05-51-6 Modification for ICOP 05-Level, ventilation balancing, and operational testing.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP)
- Existing Contract: N00024-25-C-4422
- Contractor: National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO)
- Estimated Value of New Work: FY25 OPN (TYCOM funded)
Justification & Eligibility
This action is justified for Other Than Full and Open Competition under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, citing that NASSCO is the only responsible source capable of performing the required work within the necessary timeframe without causing unacceptable delays. A competitive procurement is deemed impractical due to schedule risks, potential duplicative costs, and NASSCO's existing mobilization on the vessel with the required infrastructure and personnel.
Timeline
- The USS HARPERS FERRY FY25 SRA commenced on July 28, 2025.
- The work must be completed by the Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Combat Systems and Intelligence Light-Off (C5ILO) milestone on August 10, 2026.
- Vessel Delivery Date: October 16, 2026.
Key Points
- The estimated time for this work is approximately two months. A competitive process would require at least 30 days for award plus a 14-day mobilization, making it impossible to meet the critical C5ILO milestone.
- The Government's minimum needs have been certified as complete and accurate, and the Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable.
