Justification_OWW IDIQ Ceiling Increase_Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Sole Source (Over than SAT) document for a contract ceiling increase with the Naval Supply Systems Command, Fleet Logistics Center Yokosuka.

The contracting activity is NAVSUP FLCY Contracting Department in Yokosuka, Japan. The action authorizes a ceiling increase of $4,303,835.00 for an existing Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract (N6264926DB002) awarded to SEAON Environmental LLC on March 4, 2026, raising the cumulative maximum ordering ceiling from $9,000,000.00 to $13,303,835.00. The contract's active ordering period runs from March 5, 2026 through March 4, 2027. The ceiling increase supports continuous Oily Wastewater (OWW) barge collection, processing, and disposal services for U.S. Navy Surface Combatants (DDG, LCC, CG), the U.S. Naval Ship Repair Facility, Japan Regional Maintenance Center (SRF-JRMC) owned barges, and Nuclear-Powered Aircraft Carriers (CVN) homeported at or visiting Commander Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Japan. Services include immediate high-volume pier-side OWW barge offloading, bilge evacuation, and oil waste handling; pier-side OWW barge collection and processing during drydock/pierside availability; continuous OWW barge offload supporting CVN propulsion plant overhaul; and rapid-response short-notice pier-side OWW barge offloads for forward-deployed ships during compressed operational port stops.

The sole source justification is based on 41 U.S.C. 1901 under FAR 12.201-1, citing national security, operational readiness, and environmental imperatives. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost of $4,303,835.00 is fair and reasonable, evaluated under FAR Part 12 and DFARS 212.204 using direct application of established FFP rates, technical and quantity validation against an updated Independent Government Estimate, and order-level verification. SEAON Environmental LLC is identified as the sole viable execution vehicle due to its certified staged marine barges, security-cleared personnel, active Japanese environmental discharge permits, and immediate availability, making alternative sources impracticable within the compressed operational timeline. The justification notes plans for follow-on competitive acquisition with a solicitation targeted prior to the March 4, 2027 expiration of the current contract vehicle.
