Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy / MID ATLANTIC REG MAINT CTR has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source award to BAE Systems under Contract Number N00024-24-C-4414. This procurement is for urgent Ship Service Diesel Generator (SSDG) maintenance on the USS CARTER HALL (LSD 50), specifically pumping and cleaning the NR2 SSDG and its lube oil tank, and subsequent inspection and refilling. This work is critical due to the discovery of harmful H2S gases, creating an Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) environment, and must be integrated into the existing work package.
Scope of Work
The work involves:
- Pumping and cleaning the NR2 SSDG sump and lube oil tank.
- Opening and inspecting the NR2 SSDG in accordance with work item 123-10-002 (RCC 656N).
- Replenishing the lube oil tank with new Shell 40W oil. This is categorized under Product Service Code J998 (Non Nuclear Ship Repair).
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Sole Source)
- Contract Number: N00024-24-C-4414
- Awarded To: BAE Systems
- Funding: Fiscal Year 2024 Operation and Maintenance, Navy (O&MN) funds.
- Period of Performance: Must commence no later than [REDACTED] and be completed by [REDACTED].
- Place of Performance: Norfolk, VA.
Justification & Eligibility
This procurement is justified under "unusual and compelling urgency" (10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) and FAR Subpart 6.302-(b)(1)(2)). Full and open competition was deemed to cause unacceptable delays given the USS CARTER HALL's condensed maintenance schedule. BAE Systems is the incumbent contractor, and the ship's physical location within their shipyard prohibits other contractors' crane access, making them the only capable provider under the urgent timeline. No market research was conducted due to the critical and immediate nature of the work.
Additional Notes
This work is essential for the ship's electrical plant, and its completion is necessary to prevent severe degradation and ensure the USS CARTER HALL can meet post-DSRA operational commitments and follow-on deployment. Future acquisitions for similar work will be reviewed for full and open competition.
