N00024-24-C-4418 N50054-26-003 JA Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for use of other than full and open competition issued by the Department of the Navy's Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC) in Norfolk, Virginia.

The procurement authorizes additional work under existing Contract N00024-24-C-4418 awarded to NASSCO Norfolk, Virginia. The work involves NCDS FCU installation and INVOKE (RCC 1615N) on the USS BATAAN (LHD5) in accordance with Specification Item 980-11-008, utilizing Fiscal Year 2025 Other Procurement Navy (OPN) funds. The estimated cost and work commencement date are redacted in the document. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable based on historical data, an Independent Government Estimate (IGE), and the Project Manager's technical knowledge of estimated labor and material costs. The contractor's fully burdened ship repair labor rate and material burden rate were determined to be fair and reasonable at the time of the original contract and delivery order award. The statutory authority for this non-competitive action is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2), Unusual and Compelling Urgency, as supplemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Section 6.302-2(b)(1)(2). The justification notes that market research was not conducted due to the critical and urgent nature of the work, which required immediate commencement. For future acquisitions, similar work will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to promote fair competition where practicable. The document is signed by Contracting Officer Spencer T. Scroggins on October 21, 2025.
