About this file
This justification and approval document authorizes a sole source contract modification to an existing Navy contract with NASSCO for drydock repair and upgrade work on the USS CURTIS WILBUR (DDG 54). The contract was awarded to NASSCO on January 24, 2022 for an unknown amount. The sole source modification will add one new work item needed to fulfill required operational capability prior to the ship's upcoming deployment. Additional market research was deemed impractical given the ship is already undergoing major repairs at NASSCO's shipyard. The justification cites the need to complete the upgrade before deployment and lessons learned to ensure future solicitations are modified proactively to avoid change orders affecting mission readiness.

J&A Number:
N55236230024 additional market research beyond the above was not conducted due to the fact that the ship is already in NASSCO’s shipyard undergoing major repairs and it is impracticable for another company to perform the work.
8. ACTION TAKEN TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO COMPETITION:
This availability is the last opportunity to complete this upgrade prior to deployment and this work is needed to fulfill required operational capability. Lessons learned will be implemented to ensure Requiring Activities become more pro-active in modifying solicitations prior to award to mitigate issuing change orders that affect mission readiness for ships.
