About this file

This is a Justification and Approval for Use of Exception to Fair Opportunity (J&A) issued by the Department of the Navy's Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC) in Norfolk, Virginia.

The procurement seeks to award additional work to East Coast Repair and Fabrication on a non-competitive basis under Delivery Order N50054­26FL001, issued under the USS GUNSTON HALL (LSD-44) Continuous Maintenance Availability (CMAV) contract with SSP TPPC-LSD44-MARMC26-S001. The work involves installation of a replacement vaneaxial fan for Ships Service Generators Number 1 and 2. Specifically, work item 512-11-001 requires creating structural hull openings to remove the inoperative ventilation fan, installing a replacement unit, replacing insulation and lagging, and reinstalling structural hull openings to ensure safe operation. The contracting officer determined this work is urgent and compelling because the current ventilation fan has become inoperative through normal wear and tear, creating an operational hindrance that affects normal and emergency generator operation. Awarding to any contractor other than East Coast Repair and Fabrication would cause unacceptable delays to the USS GUNSTON HALL's fleet mission commitments and disrupt the integrated work schedule. The statutory authority cited is FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(A), which permits non-competitive procurement when the agency's need is so urgent that providing fair opportunity would result in unacceptable delays. The contracting officer determined the estimated cost is fair and reasonable based on historical data, an Independent Government Estimate (IGE), and Project Manager technical knowledge of estimated man hours and materials. The J&A is signed by Lauren Heard, Contracting Officer, Code 426.2.

East Coast Repair and Fabrication will be tasked to perform the installation of the vaneaxial fan. Although not discovered during initial work package development for the CMAV, normal wear and tear has rendered the current ventilation fan inoperative. This creates a potential operational hinderance as this ventilation fan is required for normal and emergency operation of Ships Service Generators Number 1 and 2. Estimated time of repair work . Based on estimated start date and length of repairs, work item 512-11-001 is urgent and compelling to start earliest convenience.

Without these repairs, the Ship will cannot
