This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity for the placement of an order over $3,500 under a Multiple Award Contract (MAC) for the Department of the Navy's Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (SWRMC). The exception is for Epsilon Systems Solutions, Inc. to perform emergency maintenance work on the USS PRINCETON (CG-59), specifically to replace mechanical seals on the Number 2 and 3 Seawater Service Pumps. The work is critical due to severe degradation of the Number 2 Seawater Service Pump, which is causing significant leaking into the bilge and compromising the ship's operational readiness. The repairs are urgently needed to prevent potential catastrophic failure and maintain the ship's mission-critical maneuverability systems, with the work scheduled to be completed within four weeks after receipt of the required materials, using FY26 OM&N D4 funding.
