This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for other than full and open competition from the Department of the Navy Southwest Regional Maintenance Center for contract N00024-24-C-4408. The document justifies a sole source contract action to BAE Systems San Diego Ship Repair Inc. to add four new work items to the USS MOBILE (LCS 26) FY25 Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA) contract.

The work items include repair of the Number 1 Main Propulsion Diesel Engine, overhaul of the Number 2 and 4 Ship Service Diesel Generators, and water-jet preservation work. The period of performance is December 2, 2024 through November 21, 2025. The sole source justification is based on urgent operational needs after multiple engine failures were discovered during deployment, requiring immediate repairs to maintain ship readiness. BAE Systems is uniquely positioned as the current DSRA contractor, and the 8-month estimated repair timeline does not allow time for competitive procurement without impacting critical operational schedules. The proposal was received on November 18, 2024 and funding will be FY25 OPN-TYCOM.
