Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, Southwest Regional Maintenance Center has issued a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity for the USS JACKSON (LCS-6) FY26 Planned Maintenance Availabilities (PMAVs) 26P3 and 26P4, and Facilities Maintenance Availabilities (FMs) 26FM3 and 26FM4. This action is to award a delivery order to Epsilon Systems Solutions under an existing Multiple Award Contract (MAC) due to urgent circumstances.
Scope of Work
This requirement covers the critical Planned Maintenance Availabilities (PMAVs) and Facilities Maintenance Availabilities (FMs) for the USS JACKSON (LCS-6). These availabilities are essential for maintaining the ship's operational readiness.
Justification for Exception
An exception to fair opportunity is justified due to extreme urgency. The initial awardee for Delivery Order N5523626F8027 notified the government on February 9, 2026, that they could no longer perform the work, approximately 28 days before the required start date. Re-competing the requirement would create a high risk of unsuccessful performance, deferred maintenance, and impact the ship's mission readiness. Epsilon Systems Solutions is the proposed awardee as they previously submitted a fair, reasonable, and technically acceptable proposal for this work under a competitive solicitation (DO RFP 0027) and are prepared to perform within the required timeline.

Efforts to Solicit Offers
The original requirement was competitively solicited under the LCS SEC WEST III MAC, with all IDIQ contract holders given fair opportunity. However, due to the termination of the previous award and the critical maintenance window, resoliciting is deemed unrealistic and would jeopardize the ship's operational readiness.
Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost
Epsilon's proposal was initially submitted in a competitive environment and evaluated as balanced and reasonable. A thorough review and analysis of pricing information will be conducted using parametric methods, rough yardsticks, and historical pricing data.
