This is a Justification and Approval document for use of other than full and open competition for a federal contract action.

The Naval Sea Systems Command, Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (N55236) in San Diego, California is adding one new work item to an existing firm-fixed-price contract with Vigor Marine LLC under Contract N00024-25-C-4420. The work item 584-16-001 involves stern door rollup assembly repair for the USS SAVANNAH (LCS 28) and is funded through FY26 OPN under NAVSEA for TYCOM requirements. The total estimated value is redacted, with pricing based on a COPA REV1 quotation received from Vigor. Work will begin upon authorization and is expected to be completed prior to the USS SAVANNAH's FY25 DSRA start of availability, with a delivery date redacted in the document.

The contracting officer justified using a sole-source award under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) based on the unique operational requirements and schedule constraints. The stern door repair is a new requirement identified after the delivery order was awarded due to damage discovered during Twin Boom Extensible Crane training. The work requires highly integrated coordination between the incumbent contractor and the Original Equipment Manufacturer, with Vigor positioned to perform shipboard removal and reinstallation while the OEM handles the specialized overhaul. Competitive solicitation was attempted through a Sources Sought notice, but no other source could meet the availability completion schedule without substantial delays, cost duplication, and safety conflicts. The Contracting Officer certified the anticipated cost as fair and reasonable and approved the procurement on July 15, 2026.
