1. Contracting Activity.

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and IMF, Northwest Regional Maintenance Center (NWRMC), Contracts Department (Code 423), Everett, WA 98207.

2. Description of the Action Being Approved.

10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2), Unusual and compelling urgency.

5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority.

NASSCO is currently providing extensive repairs and maintenance on the USS SAMPSON and the U.S. Navy has an immediate need to support its availability to accomplish maintenance and repairs.

The Contracting Officer determined that, in order to meet strict deadlines for the availability of work on the ship, it’s in the best interest to award NASSCO this new work item rather than soliciting to another contractor. The new work Addition does not impact current availability Key Events or Milestones. Schedule

J&A No. 23-33JA integration is required. This work is required to correct a paint peeling condition found in the two fuel oil service tanks.

If not corrected during this availability, paint delamination will cause subsequent fuel filter blockage because these tanks receive fuel that is purified prior to entering the tanks. This condition will cause fuel starvation to the ships main engines and cause loss of propulsion while underway if paint chips delaminate and enters the fuel delivery system to the main engines. The paint delamination condition was discovered during routine open and inspect. Subsequent inspection by C/242 project support engineer determined the need for this repair effort.

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

A synopsis of the proposed modification was not published to SAM.gov due to the exception at FAR 5.202(a)(2) for unusual and compelling urgency. The base contract was a sole source award to NASSCO using industrial mobilization as its authority. Maintaining the industrial base is critical to national security given the limited number of contractors available to perform the work in the Pacific Northwest.

7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost.

The Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost to the Government of the supplies/services covered by this J&A will be fair and reasonable.

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition.

For the reasons set forth in Paragraph 5, PSNS & IMF/NWRMC has no plans at this time to compete future out of scope modification for the types of supplies/services covered by this document. If another potential source emerges, PSNS & IMF/NWRMC will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.
