This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (J&A) issued by the Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC) in Norfolk, VA for contract N00024-22-D-4401. The justification supports limiting the source of procurement to Colonna's Shipyard Inc. for a firm fixed-price delivery order (N500425FC003) to perform cradle foundation repair work, which was discovered after the original package award and needs to be incorporated into FY2025 Operations and Maintenance funding.

The justification cites FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C) as the regulatory authority, stating that the order must be issued on a sole source basis for economy and efficiency as a logical follow-on to an existing order. Colonna's Shipyard Inc. was awarded the original delivery order on October 30, 2024, for maintenance, modernization and repair work during a Continuous Maintenance Availability (CMAV). They are identified as the only company able to perform the required work under short notice during the current CMAV without causing unacceptable delays. The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated costs will be fair and reasonable based on past history of similar work requirements.
