Contract & Timeline
- Contract Type: Modification to an existing contract (HTC711-20-D-R035)
- Services: Stevedoring & Related Terminal Services (PSC: V114)
- Location: Charleston, SC (Mid-Atlantic region)
- Published Date: March 18, 2026
Justification
The modification is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) due to unusual and compelling urgency. This extension is necessary to prevent a lapse in essential S&RTS services, which would severely degrade operational capabilities and pose an unacceptable risk to military operations. The extension bridges the gap while a follow-on contract, being procured through a full and open competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) issued on July 23, 2025, is finalized. Competitive offers were not sought for this modification due to the urgency.
Additional Notes
Contract pricing for the extension was reviewed and validated, with a modest rate increase approved to account for economic changes. The Contracting Officer determined the updated rates to be fair and reasonable.
