1. Contracting Agency:

USACE

New Orleans District

7400 Leake Ave.

New Orleans, LA 70118

2. Description of Action:

This justification for other than full and open competition (J&A) supports the modification of contract W912P8-21-D-0001 to allow an additional period of performance of six months (30 Nov 2025 – 29 May 2026). This J&A seeks approval of a contract extension in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Clause

52.217-8, Option to Extend Services.

3. Description of Supplies/Services:

This contract is a non-personal service performance based commercial service contract subject to the Service Contract Act. This contract is an IDIQ contract requiring the task order be issued funded and released by the Contracting Officer prior to performance of work. The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, fuel tools, supervision and other items and services necessary inspection maintenance and repairs to hull, steel structures dredging equipment, propulsion system, and auxiliary systems aboard the

Dredge Wheeler. The contractor must provide all necessary labor, supervision, tools, supplies materials equipment machine shop facilities, and transportation to perform maintenance and repairs aboard the Dredge Wheeler in accordance with the Scope of

Work.

4. Authority Cited:

10 USC 2304(c)(l) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1- Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

5. Reason for Authority Cited:

Based on the customer's requirements and the urgency of this extension, only the incumbent contractor, Boland Marine & Industrial LLC, is capable. A 6-month extension of this contract is necessary since that will provide the necessary amount of time for the new contract to be approved and put in-place. Due to the government shutdown, approval of required documents for new procurements are taking longer than usual. Performance of the service in the PWS is the same as the services in the base year and previous option years. Under the current contract, Boland Marine was required to provide these services for topside maintenance and repairs. It would be time and cost prohibitive to the

Government to start a new contract and would create a lapse in these highly important services. In addition, Boland Marine provides currently approved services at the current cost to the Government.
