About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Eustis posted this Justification and Approval notice on October 27, 2025, for contract W911S0-26-P-A001, which was awarded on October 14, 2025, to Norton Lilly for vessel transit services through the Panama Canal. The contract covers critical husbanding and logistics services for a Landing Craft Utility (LCU) vessel, including cargo handling, waste disposal, fuel provisions, repairs, crew transportation, customs clearance, and telecommunications support required for the LCU's transit to California for depot maintenance and Service Life Extension Program upgrades. The 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary) justified the sole source award under the unusual and compelling urgency exception outlined in FAR 5.202(a)(2), as the LCU transit to the West Coast has been identified as a top priority by the Department of War and no East Coast contractors submitted proposals for the required depot maintenance services. Norton Lilly was selected as the sole source provider through an existing Global Husbarding Support Services indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract that the vendor operates across multiple government agencies, leveraging over 180 years of maritime industry experience. The contract utilizes firm fixed-price pricing with FY26 Operations and Maintenance Army funding, though the specific award amount remains redacted in the published notice.
