The Naval Sea Systems Command, Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (N55236), Contracting Department Code 440A, 3755 Brinser Street, Suite #1, San Diego, CA 92136-5299. Contracting ACO: Jacob Fox, Jacob.w.fox.civ@us.navy.mil

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION BEING APPROVED:

Sole source contract action is to add one Preventative Maintenance Availability (PMAV) Package at Firm Fixed Price to BAE Systems San Diego Ship Repair Inc. (BAE) under Contract N00024-24-C-4408 awarded for USS MOBILE (LCS 26) Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA).

Work Item to be incorporated:

a. PMAV DRSA 7

3. DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES:

a. The procurement is to accomplish one Preventative Maintenance Availability (PMAV)

Package (PMAV DRSA 7) on the USS MOBILE (LCS-26) as detailed in the PMAV packages. Key Dates are detailed in Section J Attachment J-3 Execution Milestone and Key Events Rev 1.

b. Total Value: $86,482.80. Funding will be FY25 OPN-TYCOM.

c. The work will begin 25 April 2025, or as soon as authorized to place on contract and be completed by 28 August 2025. The USS MOBILE (LCS 26) FY25 DSRA start of the availability was 04 December 2024 with a Delivery Date of 21 November 2025.

d. The Government’s minimum needs have been certified as complete and accurate by the technical and requirements personnel.

J&A Number:

N00024-24-C-4408 creating a day-to-day delay in schedule. Any delay will impact the milestones and key events in support of the end of availability, and deployment readiness.

This work needs to be accomplished by the Production Complete Date of 28 August 2025 in order for the ship to meet its operational and testing requirements that are scheduled after the DSRA. For every day these PMAVs are not on contract, there is the potential to cause a day-to-day delay in the established milestones and potentially the delivery date. Timely completion of this work is critical.

Failure to complete the repairs by the Production Complete Date will prevent the ship from achieving certification and accomplishing training to be mission ready. BAE has the means to incorporate the scope of work in DSRA 7 PMAV without significant delays or duplication of costs.

By repairing these deficiencies, we can mitigate the risk of further damage and ensure the integrity and longevity of the associated system

6. DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO SOLICIT OFFERS FROM AS MANY

OFFERORS AS PRACTICABLE:

The original contract was awarded competitively in which BAE was the selected awardee and this work was not on contract under the award. BAE is uniquely positioned to perform the work as the ship is currently under repair by BAE at their shipyard undergoing a Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA), and it is impracticable for another company to perform these suppose services concurrently with other ongoing repairs currently being completed by BAE. A publication will be posted in accordance with FAR 5.201 once the PMAV is settled.

7. DETERMINATION OF FAIR AND REASONABLE COST:

The Contracting Officer has determined that the anticipated cost to the Government of this acquisition will be fair and reasonable based on cost and price analysis to be conducted pursuant to FAR Part 15. In addition, technical analysis will be performed with the Project Manager to ensure the proposed labor hours, material cost, and subcontractor cost correspond with the expected cost or Independent Government Estimate (IGE). The basis of estimate for the IGE was developed utilizing the SWRMC Estimating Guide and the Ship Build Specialist’s knowledge of the requirements. The ship repair market is well known to the contracting officer based on his in-depth experience in the field.

8. ACTION TAKEN TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO COMPETITION:

Upon discovery of the repairs, discussions commenced with Government leadership to analyze the best course of action given the availability’s schedule and the available options. Due to the time restraint on when the work was to be completed to not impact the overall availability schedule and various other sequenced working events, it was determined that there was not sufficient time to solicit out the new work. Cost was also a factor as BAE would have the better price due to already having the ship in their shipyard and the services already made readily available. Due to the high likely hood of a higher cost to the government and unacceptable timeframes outside the awarded availability schedule, it is in the Government’s best interest to include this new work into the contract.
