This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document from the Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC) to extend an existing Architect-Engineer contract with Childs Engineering Corporation for 12 months, from February 11, 2025 to February 11, 2026. The contract (N39430-20-D-2207) provides Waterfront Facilities Inspection (WFI) and Assessment services within Region 1, which covers the Northeast, Southeast, Great Lakes, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands.

The services include underwater and above-water inspections, material condition assessments, and engineering design services for DoD waterfront and ocean facilities. Specific projects are scheduled at NAVSTA Mayport Florida, NSY Portsmouth New Hampshire, NAVSEA installations in Florida and Philadelphia, and NSA Mechanicsburg. The work requires specialized engineering services and certified divers to inspect critical facilities like explosive handling wharfs, fueling piers, and submarine piers. The contract is a Single Award, Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) small business set-aside. A competitive follow-on contract is expected to be awarded by February 2026.
