About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command issued a sole-source justification for contract N3220526C1213, awarded to Hornbeck Offshore Services, LLC on December 31, 2025, for a 90-day special time charter of a purpose-modified Offshore Supply Vessel to support Submarine Rescue Deep Submergence (SRDRS) certification testing. The contract includes a 90-day base period with three optional one-month extensions, totaling 181 days of vessel charter services. The sole-source justification is based on urgent operational necessity and an unusual and compelling urgency exception under FAR Part 13.5, as the Navy encountered an unforeseen delay in certification testing and requires immediate resumption to maintain submarine rescue capability and fulfill alliance commitments. The selected vessel is the only U.S. flag platform immediately available with the requisite mission-specific modifications, including specialized launch and recovery interfaces, integrated power and communications infrastructure, and custom deck foundations, making it the sole source capable of performing the service within the required timeframe. While the specific award value is not disclosed in the justification documents, the contract compensation is structured as a daily rate for the base and option periods with reimbursable costs to be added.
