Quick Summary

The Department of the Navy (MSCHQ NORFOLK) has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for USNS MERCY (T-AH 19) FY26 ROH/DD New Work. This J&A approves contract modifications for essential ship repair, specifically boiler repairs, to ensure regulatory compliance and mission readiness. The work is to be performed in Portland, OR.

Scope of Work

The required work, detailed in an enclosure to J&A No. N10426C0006P00007, includes starboard boiler repairs, specifically the replacement of deteriorated boiler tubes, following an inspection and hydro test (WI: 0281). These modifications are necessary to comply with U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and American Bureau of Shipping regulations.

Contract & Timeline

  • Type: Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for contract N3220526C0006.
  • Purpose: To incorporate urgent work items into an existing contract to avoid delays in the vessel's return to mission-ready status.
  • Published: June 4, 2026.
  • Place of Performance: Portland, OR.
  • Set-Aside: None specified.

Justification

The J&A cites unusual and compelling urgency for these modifications. While the original contract was competitively awarded, soliciting these additional work items separately is not feasible due to significant lead times. Such a delay would impact the vessel's return to a mission-ready posture and incur substantial daily costs to the government. Efforts were made to solicit offers from as many offerors as practicable through presolicitation notices. The government intends to develop a technical data package or performance specification to support future competition for similar items.
