This Justification and Approval (J&A) document is for the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) to procure Ship to Shore Connector (SSC) Skirt Systems through a limited competition contract. The procurement is for manufacturing and delivering 10 SSC Skirt Systems for Textron Marine & Land Systems Inc., with 5 additional spare systems for Government use, to be produced under Government-furnished engineering drawings. The total contract will be competed among two certified firms: Avon Engineered Fabrications LLC in Picayaune, MS and SMR Acquisition LLC in Fenwick, WV, who are the only vendors capable of meeting the unique material and fabrication requirements specified in the Project Peculiar Documents.

The contract will be an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) firm fixed price supply-type agreement, funded through FY 2018-2020 SCN funds. Production quantities are planned as 3 skirt systems in FY18, 6 in FY19, and 1 in FY20, with additional 5 spare systems potentially procured in FY22 or FY23. The procurement is being conducted under a limited competition mechanism due to the specialized nature of the skirt systems and the specific certification requirements, with NAVSEA having already conducted testing and qualification procedures for these two vendors under previous contracts.
