This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole source contract modification with BAE Systems for the USS GREEN BAY (LPD-20). The contract, with J&A Number N5523625028, is for adding one (1) New Work Item to support a Solid State Frequency Converter (SSFC) Distribution Upgrade and Alteration Installation Team (AIT) Support Service. The specific work item (980-80-001) involves upgrading a 400Hz Solid State Frequency Converter, with work beginning 28 July 2025 and completion expected by 13 August 2026. Fiscal Year 2025 OPN-TYCOM funding will be used, with the total estimated value redacted. The Navy determined this modification is necessary because BAE is uniquely positioned to perform the work while the ship is undergoing a Dry-Dock Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA), and no other source can satisfy the agency's requirements without incurring duplicative costs.

The contract will require significant support services across seven separate locations onboard the USS GREEN BAY, including transferring over 21,000 pounds of equipment and providing temporary power, crane, forklift, and other support services. The government certified that minimum needs are complete and accurate, and the contracting officer determined the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable. The justification notes that on future maintenance availabilities, support services will be added to the basic work specifications to allow full and open competition. The document includes multiple certifications and approvals from technical, legal, and contracting personnel, with digital signatures dated 25 July 2025.
