About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command issued this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for mid-term availability work on the USNS COMFORT (T-AH 20), a naval hospital ship, awarded to Alabama Shipyard (ASY) under contract N3220526C1204. The work consists of six critical ship maintenance and repair items, including firemain system repairs, bridge wing instrumentation installation, electrical and mechanical upgrades, and ballast tank inspection and repair, all required to meet regulatory compliance standards set by the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and American Bureau of Shipping. The justification for sole-source award is based on unusual and compelling urgency under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2), as deficiencies identified during inspections conducted between January 23 and March 15, 2026, must be corrected before the vessel's departure, and competitive procurement would require a 381-day lead time that would delay the vessel's return to mission-ready status at a cost of $85,757 per day in per diem expenses. The original contract was competitively awarded for $16,707,619.00 on December 16, 2025, with a period of performance from January 22 through May 3, 2026, though the specific award value for the modification work is not disclosed in this notice. The presolicitation notice was published on sam.gov on May 28, 2025, and the Contracting Officer determined the anticipated costs to be fair and reasonable under FAR 15.404-1(b).
