This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Use of Other Than Full and Open Competition, issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Far East (NAVFAC FE) in Yokosuka, Japan. The document seeks approval to award a modification to an existing contract with Sumiju Yokosuka Kogyo Co., Ltd. for urgent repair work on the Urago Dock 2 seawall, which was damaged by a typhoon. The modification involves installing sheet piling to reinforce the seawall and prevent imminent failure, with work including labor, materials, transportation, and equipment. The contract period will be extended by 39 months (from March 2023 to June 2026), and the estimated additional cost for the "C" design package is $1.5M, to be funded through FY25 Budget Exchange Rate.

The urgent modification is necessitated by significant seawall damage that poses critical mission risks, including potential mission incapability for the Navy Munitions Command and interruption of the Japanese Facility Improvement Program. Due to the active deterioration and urgent need for repair, a full and open competitive procurement was not feasible. NAVFAC FE recommends utilizing the current contractor, who has demonstrated capability and willingness to perform the work. The document highlights that constant erosion, storm events, and high tides have progressively weakened the seawall, making immediate intervention necessary to prevent potential collapse and associated safety hazards.
