This is a Justification Review Document and Sole Source Justification for an emergent drydocking and repair contract for a Number 2 Starboard Hopper Door on a vessel. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District is seeking to award a sole source contract to Vigor Marine in Portland, Oregon for mission-critical drydock and repair services, with a firm-fixed price under the OMA (Operations and Maintenance, Army) funding source.

The contract is urgent due to a disconnected hopper door hinge preventing safe vessel operations. Market research confirmed Vigor Marine Portland is the only viable option with immediate dry dock availability in August 2025, located closest to the vessel's current location. No reasonable alternatives exist, and other nearby shipyards cannot accommodate the repair within the required timeframe. The total estimated contract value is redacted, but the action is being processed under simplified acquisition procedures not exceeding $750K, with the contracting officer determining Vigor Marine is the only reasonably available source based on urgency and limited dry dock capacity in the region.
