SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION FOR

ACQUISITIONS WITHIN THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD ($250K) UP TO FAR 13.5

THRESHOLD ($7 MIL)

1. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)(1) – actions up to $250k or

13.501(a) – actions up to $7million, I hereby determine that the Drydocking and Hull Repair listed on MAPR61525000755 is available from only one source, and competition is precluded for the reasons indicated below. There are no substitutes available.

2. This acquisition is restricted to the following source:

Company: Bayonne Drydock and Repair Company Address: 100 Military Ocean Term St, Bayonne, NJ 07002 Company Point of Contact and Phone Number: Vice President Bob Magas 917-416-1773

3. The Drydocking and Hull Repair is estimated to cost $ and is required to be performed by October 15, 2025

The Maritime Administration intends to solicit Industrial Support to drydock the vessel and perform steel repairs to the hull in the dirty oil tank.

4. Because of the urgency of this requirement, only one source will be solicited. The drydocking and hull repair must be performed by October 15, 2025. This office became aware of the requirement on 8-17-2025. If the required performance date is not met, the vessel will be in failure of the regulatory bodies requirements.

5. Check and fill in all that are applicable:

The material or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing systems presently installed. The current equipment is <insert description of current equipment>, and the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system by <insert description of how the new item/service must coordinate or interface>.

A patent, copyright, proprietary data, or licensing agreement limits competition. The proprietary data are described as follows:

<Insert description>

These are "direct replacement" parts/components for existing equipment.

Other information to support a sole-source buy:

Urgent and Compelling due to breach of hull and USCG requiring repair.

1.Why are you recommending a sole source with BBD? I contacted Bayonne Drydock and Repair and GMD Shipyard to price the steel repairs to the hull in the dirty oil tank.

BDD is the only shipyard that can complete the work within the required time frame.

2.Was BDD the only one to provide you with a quote? Yes, BDD was the only contractor to provide a quote. The other contractor did not provide a quote as of today, 4 September 2025.

3.Among those companies, was BDD the only one available to do the work immediately? Yes, BDD is the only company capable and willing to do this work in the New York City Area, where the ship is home berthed. Also, towing the vessels to another port on the East Coast has been eliminated as a possibility by the regulatory bodies due to their concerns about the vessels being out on the open ocean.

CERTIFICATION

I certify that statements checked and information provided above are complete and correct to the best of my knowledge. In accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The facts of this acquisition preclude the use of full and open competition.
