Solicitation 1/4 5/21/24, 3:52 PM MARMC Messing and Berthing Barges Program
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command issued this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for maintenance repairs on the YRBM(L)-45 barge under the MARMC Messing and Berthing Barges Program. The procurement covers eleven specific work items including accountability of manhour and material, deck drain systems, firefighting system, crew galley, barge systems, towing service, cleaning, and hazardous waste control that must be completed during the vessel's upcoming sustainment period. The Navy justified the exception to fair opportunity under FAR provision 16.505(b)(2)(i)(A) due to urgent agency need, stating that providing fair opportunity would result in unacceptable delays given the vessel's operational schedule. The contract N5005425D0014 was awarded to BAYTEC Marine LLC on June 15, 2025, as they were determined to be the only available source with acceptable past performance and capacity to support the barge's maintenance requirements.
