FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

JUSTIFICATION

1. Contracting Activity

The Naval Sea Systems Command, Shipbuilding Contracts Division

(SEA 022).

2. Description of the Action Being Approved

Award of a basic ordering agreement (BOA) on a sole source basis for the accomplishment of Post Shakedown Availability (PSA) Class Planning and Support for seven (7) DDG 51 Class Destroyers to Huntington Ingalls Corporation (HII Ingalls), 1000 Access Rd, Pascagoula, MS. Authority to act under this CJ&A expires with the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy (SCN) Obligation Work Limiting Date (OWLD) of DDG 139; currently May 2032, based on the 2 December 2024 DDG 51 Class Master Planning Schedule.

3. Description of Supplies/Services

Historically, PSA Planning has been contracted via BOAs established with each DDG 51 Class shipbuilder for their respective hulls. The current PSA Planning BOAs provide coverage through DDG 122 for BIW built DDGs and coverage through DDG 125 for Huntington Ingalls Incorporated (HII Ingalls) built DDGs.

This procurement contemplates a class of orders that will be issued under a newly established BOA for the accomplishment of PSA Class Planning Support for seven (7) DDG 51 Class Destroyers (DDG 128, DDG 129, DDG 131, DDG 133, DDG 135, DDG 137, and DDG 139) built by HII Ingalls, commencing between one and three months prior to ship delivery and concludes at the SCN OWLD. The total estimated value of this contract is , as illustrated below:

CJ&A Number: 22,189

Navy. Consequently, only HII Ingalls, as the building yard for the above mentioned DDG Class Destroyers, has the adequate and unique knowledge of each ship’s delivered configuration, deferred work and incomplete changes, to competently perform PSA Class Planning and Support for each ship built by HII Ingalls without incurring unacceptable delays to agency requirements.

Any emergent availability during the post-delivery period for a particular ship must be planned and accomplished within a relatively short time frame to avoid delays to the deployment of the ship. Given that only the shipbuilder for these DDG 51 Class ships possesses adequate data and knowledge of and familiarity with the unique detail design upon which to provide planning for a post-delivery emergent availability, adequate knowledge of the unique construction methodology used for the ship class, experience and resources necessary to quickly respond to these emergent requirements, and given the limited interval of time defined as the post-delivery period, only HII Ingalls can competently perform the planning and accomplishment of any emergent industrial availability of ships built by HII Ingalls without unacceptable delays.

BIW might be capable of providing these services; however, to attempt to obtain these services from BIW or any other source would not be possible without incurring delays and increased costs. The time and resources necessary to develop another source would hamper the efficient implementation of PSA planning. Award to any firm other than HII Ingalls for the above-stated requirements would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements (i.e., ship deployment) due to inadequate long lead time support and high startup costs. For these reasons, the services required in support of these ships built by HII Ingalls within the required program schedules are only available from HII Ingalls.

6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Many Offerors as Practicable

The proposed acquisition was synopsized on SAM.gov website on 8 January 2025 in accordance with FAR 5.2 and no other potential sources expressed an interest in the requirement.

Individual or classes of orders to be issued under this BOA will be published on the SAM.gov website. A waiver to the DFARS PGI 206.302-1(d) requirement to post a sources sought notice or request for information for any justification

CJ&A Number: 22,189 utilizing the authority at FAR 6.302-1 was approved on 29 January 2025. No additional market research was conducted because it is not practicable, for reasons discussed in paragraph 5 above, for any company other than HII Ingalls to provide the requirements documented herein.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Costs

The Contracting Officer has determined that the anticipated cost to the Government for the supplies/services covered by the CJ&A will be fair and reasonable.

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Competition

For the reasons set forth in Paragraph 5, Naval Sea Systems Command, Shipbuilding Contracts Division (SEA 022) has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the types of supplies/services covered by this document. If another potential source emerges, NAVSEA will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible. The circumstances surrounding the need to obtain the required supplies/services without providing full and open competition will be reviewed annually by the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO). As this is a follow-on for supplies and services previously awarded on a non-competitive basis, in accordance with DFARS PGI 206.304(A)(S-70)(i), the prior J&A 21,755 was provided to the approval authority for review. Approval of this J&A signifies the approval authority has made the determination required by DFARS PGI 206.304(a)(S-70)(ii).
