This is a Class Justification and Approval document for the use of other than full and open competition issued by the Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA).

The document justifies a sole-source contract modification (N0024-19-C-6402) to Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) for continued engineering and technical support of the Mark 11 (MK11) Sea, Air, and Land (SEAL) Delivery Vehicle program. The modification will increase labor hours for engineering and technical support by 95,172 hours and expand Provisioned Item Orders (PIOs) to support in-service maintenance, repairs, engineering change proposals, travel, and other direct costs. The contract includes a base period plus option years starting in an unspecified timeframe, with authority to act expiring in September of an unspecified year. The modification's estimated total cost is redacted, with separate allocations for Procurement (PROC), Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E), and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) appropriations. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory authority, establishing that only TBE possesses the unique knowledge of the MK11 SDV system design and production capability necessary to continue engineering support without unacceptable delays. The Government conducted market research through preliminary industry engagement and a June 2022 Sources Sought notice, determining that no other contractor currently holds the required NAVSEA Note 5000 certification or possesses the engineering and manufacturing capacity to begin performance immediately. The Contracting Officer determined anticipated costs to be fair and reasonable. The document was approved by the Director of Contracts, NAVSEA, on an unspecified date.
