This is a Class Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a contract modification under the authority of 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(2) for unusual and compelling urgency. The Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command (MSC) Norfolk is awarding contract modifications to Detyens Shipyard, Inc. under existing contract N3220526C1207 for the Mid-Term Availability of the USNS OSCAR V. PETERSON (T-AO 206). The contract was initially awarded on January 30, 2026, for 104 work items with a performance period extending through May 18, 2026, based on adequate price competition for $19,473,441.00.

The modification covers supply services and work items necessary to comply with regulatory requirements of the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and American Bureau of Shipping. The total estimated dollar value is redacted but will be funded through fiscal year 2026 Operations and Maintenance, Navy (O&M,N) funds, with authority expiring one year after Competition Advocate approval. The justification cites that full and open competition is infeasible due to an unacceptable delay in returning the vessel to operational status; a 501-day lead time would be required, and at the vessel's daily rate of $210,165, the estimated cost to the Government would exceed $6.5 million. The current state of vessel disassembly with interfering components removed and equipment open presents the most opportune and cost-effective window for executing these repairs. The presolicitation notice was posted on the SAM.gov website on July 23, 2025, with award notice posted January 30, 2026. The contracting officer determined the anticipated costs are fair and reasonable under IAW FAR 15.404-1(b)(2).
