This availability is the last opportunity to complete this upgrade prior to deployment and this work is needed to fulfill required operational capability.

5. RATIONALE JUSTIFYING USE OF CITED STATUTORY AUTHORITY

Request for Contractor Change (RCC) 329N was issued to incorporate new work item 311-22-001 to replace the Number 2 Ship Service Diesel Generator (SSDG) exhaust bellows located in Auxiliary Machinery Room Number 1 (7-33-0-E) onboard the USS ANCHORAGE (LPD 23). RCC 329N is written to include NAVSEA Standard Items (NSI) 009-09 Process Control Procedure (PCP), 009-12 for accomplishing welding requirement, 009-11 to accomplish insulation and lagging, and 009-32 for cleaning and painting requirement for all new and disturbed surfaces following the replacement of SSDG exhaust bellow.

The Number 2 SSDG requires replacement Engine Inspector (DEI) upon removal of exhaust lagging pads during inspections in the week of 01 August 2023. The ship did not identify the need for replace the exhaust bellows until after 100% Package Lock therefore this work was not included in the basic work package.

After 100% package lock, the team researched and found that the Outlet on the Turbo for the MPDE is the separation boundary between the MPDE and the Exhaust system/piping. These are two different systems with their own each unique Ships Work Line Item Number (SWLIN). The exhaust system

The SWLIN for the SSDG is 31211, while the Exhaust SWLIN is 34200. The bellows is located on the Exhaust System and not part of the SSDG system, and therefore is considered new work.

The replacement of the Number 2 SSDG exhaust bellows cannot be deferred to another availability since fully operational Number 2 SSDG exhaust bellows are required in order for completion of six

(6) each basic work items in the FY23 DSRA work pack. Per PACFLT direction, all engineering systems must have maximized reliability and full redundancy. Additionally, the exhaust bellows replacement is mandatory as a safety requirement to prevent carbon monoxide poising and a possible exhaust leaks in the space. This work MPDE and SSDGs will be fully operational for Sea Trials and AC.

Issuing this new work to NASSCO is logical due to the ship bei preventing potential scheduling conflicts and delays. In addition, issuing this new work will reduce overall risk in terms of cost and schedule on behalf of the Government. Since USS ANCHORAGE (LPD 23) FY23 DSRA was awarded to NASSCO as the prime contractor, having NASSCO accomplish this new work will give continuity with the systems and personnel already scheduled to be working on the ship. Additionally, NASSCO is uniquely positioned to perform this work on the ship and it is impracticable for another company to perform these support services.

RCC 329N was issued to the Contractor for pricing on 12 January 2024 in which NASSCO submitted their initial proposal on 05 February 2024 for . The proposal was submitted after several discussions were held between the Government Project Team and the Contractor to verify scope and materials required. The material vendor did not provide a material quote to ocess was delayed. The SWRMC ACO intends to settle this new work at a fair and reasonable price based on the
