About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command issued a Justification and Approval document authorizing a sole-source contract modification (N00024-22-C-2253) for the Detail Design and Construction of Yard Repair, Berthing and Messing Barges (YRBMs), which was awarded to Conrad Industries on February 17, 2026. YRBMs are specialized, non-self-propelled barges designed to dock pierside and provide berthing and messing facilities for sailors during ship repairs and overhauls of Navy destroyers, cruisers, littoral combat ships, and submarines. The Navy justified the sole-source award under 10 U.S.C. 3204(b) based on the finding that Conrad Industries is the only responsible source capable of fulfilling this requirement, as the company originally developed the integrated YRBM system and possesses intimate knowledge of the specialized design and construction necessary to meet the Navy's urgent timeline. The justification emphasized that competitive procurement would introduce unacceptable delays of several months beyond the Navy's delivery needs, leaving sailors in inadequate living conditions during critical maintenance operations. While the specific contract value and exact quantity of barges were redacted from the public notice, the document indicates the contract represents a critical Navy priority supported by Congressional appropriations. The YRBM barges will be constructed to commercial standards and classed to American Bureau of Shipping guidelines while maximizing Commercial-Off-The-Shelf equipment and complying with applicable regulatory requirements.
