Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for other than full and open competition to modify an existing contract (N3220526C1226) for the Regular Overhaul Drydocking Availability (ROH/DD) of the USNS LARAMIE (T-AO 203). These modifications are critical for regulatory compliance and are justified due to "unusual and compelling urgency" to avoid significant daily costs and ensure the vessel's mission readiness.
Scope of Change
The J&A incorporates additional work items necessary to comply with regulatory requirements from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and American Bureau of Shipping. Specific new work items detailed include Bosun Hatch Repair, Stateroom Deck Coverings Replacement, and Lifeboat & Davit 5-Year Service & Inspection. The period of performance has been revised from April 20, 2026 – July 29, 2026, to April 23, 2026 – August 01, 2026.
Contract & Timeline
The original contract (N3220526C1226) was awarded for $18,205,703.00. The additional work items will be funded by fiscal year 2026 Operations and Maintenance, Navy (O&M,N) funds. The justification for other than full and open competition is based on the urgency to prevent delays, as a competitive solicitation would impede the vessel's return to mission-ready status, incurring an estimated loss of $210,167.00 per day to the Government.

This J&A addresses modifications to an already awarded contract and does not impact original proposal submission deadlines. For inquiries, contact Teana Smith at teana.d.smith2.civ@us.navy.mil or 564-226-5510.
