Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy has issued a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (J&A) for the Messing and Berthing Barge Program YR-29_RCC 1N. This document explains the rationale for awarding a contract to BAYTEC Marine LLC without full and open competition for the sustainment and INSURV support of the YR-29 barge in New London, CT.
Scope of Work
The work involves providing support for the INSURV (Inspection and Survey) of the YR-29 barge. This is critical for maintaining essential services such as AC, CHT, potable water, ventilation, berthing, and messing spaces, which are necessary for the crew living aboard the barge.
Contract Details
- Opportunity Type: Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (J&A)
- Contract Vehicle: Under IDIQ Contract N50054-25-D-0014
- Awardee (Justified): BAYTEC Marine LLC
- Place of Performance: New London, CT, United States
- Product Service Code: J998 (Non Nuclear Ship Repair (East))
Rationale for Exception
The justification cites urgency as the primary reason, stating that providing fair opportunity would cause unacceptable delays. Routine solicitations take 30 days, and even urgent ones require additional time for package creation and funding. The YR-29's crew requires immediate repair of essential services. Furthermore, in previous solicitations for similar support, BAYTEC Marine LLC was the only contractor to bid. The Contracting Officer has determined the cost to be fair and reasonable based on historical data and an Independent Government Estimate.
Additional Notes
This notice is a justification for a sole-source award and not a solicitation for new offers. Actions to remove barriers to future competition are mentioned, including reviewing similar work requirements for future solicitations. Contact: Joel Harrison, joel.j.harrison.civ@us.navy.mil, 75755351463.
