About this file
This document is a Single Source Determination using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office. The procurement involves repairing the R/V Bay Commitment, a 41-foot research vessel currently unable to operate due to a severely corroded shaft log. The Talaria Company, LLC has been identified as the sole source contractor to perform critical maintenance tasks, including shaft log fabrication, welding services, installation of bellows and grounding straps, shaft alignment, and sea trials.
The technical requirements mandate that the fabricated shaft logs match existing materials and dimensions, with all work performed in compliance with specific welding and maritime standards. The deliverable schedule requires a fully operational vessel to be provided on or after August 30, 2025, but within 120 days of contract award. Work will be conducted at Hinckley Yachts' Bachelor's Point Yard in Oxford, MD. The procurement is urgent due to the vessel's critical role in supporting field activities such as hydrographic research and buoy maintenance, and its current "no sail" status severely limits the office's ability to respond to emergency situations.

SINGLE SOURCE DETERMINATION USING
SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP)
FOR AN ACTION NOT EXCEEDING THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD
(AUTHORITY: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1))
PR: 143013-25-0052
1. Agency and contracting activity. Department of Commerce, Fisheries OMB Field Delegates and Office of Habitat Conservation/ NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office (NCBO)
2. Description of supplies or services required to meet agency needs (including the estimated value).
The NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office (NCBO) operates a 41-foot research vessel, R/V Bay Commitment. The 41’ Bay Commitment is used to support field activities such as hydrographic research and buoy maintenance. The R/V Bay Commitment was pulled out of the water for her biennial inspection of the shafts and replacement of cutlass bearings when the maintenance team identified a severely corroded shaft log, the “pipe” the shaft passes through. The corrosion was severe enough to warrant placing the vessel into a “no sail” status until which time the issue can be resolved. Having the vessel in a “no sail” status severely challenges OHC ability to react to emergency situations.
