Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, specifically the SOUTHWEST REGIONAL MAINT CENTER, has issued a Special Notice regarding a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source contract modification. This J&A authorizes the addition of a new work item to an existing contract (N00024-25-C-4420) with Vigor Marine LLC for the USS SAVANNAH (LCS 28) Fiscal Year 2025 Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA). The new work item involves the installation of a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Charging Station.
Scope of Work
The primary work item is 992-11-018, focusing on the installation of a standalone SCBA Charging Station. This station is crucial for providing pier-side support to the ship's emergency firefighting response team, as the vessel's existing LP air system, which typically feeds its SCBA charging station, will be undergoing overhaul and will be unusable during the DSRA.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm-fixed-price modification to an existing contract.
- Existing Contract: N00024-25-C-4420 with Vigor Marine LLC.
- Funding: FY25 OPN (TYCOM funded).
- Period of Performance: Work is authorized to begin as soon as possible, aligning with the USS SAVANNAH (LCS-28) FY25 DSRA start of availability on April 13, 2026.
- Place of Performance: Portland, OR.
Eligibility & Rationale for Sole Source
This action is being taken under other than full and open competition, citing statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to the determination that Vigor Marine LLC is the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency's requirements without causing unacceptable delays. Competing this requirement would lead to significant schedule impacts (minimum 29 days), affecting critical hot work and potentially incurring substantial financial injury through duplicative costs and drydock extension rates. Vigor Marine LLC is the prime contractor for the ship's DSRA at their Portland shipyard, making them uniquely positioned to perform this work with minimal disruption. This notice is a justification for award, not a solicitation for proposals.
Key Dates
- Published Date: May 28, 2026.
- Response Date: May 29, 2026 (for the special notice itself, not a proposal submission).
