About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command has awarded contract N3220526C1206 to Alabama Shipyard on a sole-source basis for Mid-Life Technical Availability (MTA) work on the USNS JOSHUA HUMPHREYS (TAO-188), with the original contract value of $14,629,577.00 awarded competitively on January 30, 2026.
The justification for the non-competitive modification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) for unusual and compelling urgency. U.S. Coast Guard and American Bureau of Shipping inspectors identified deficiencies requiring repair prior to the vessel's departure to comply with Safety Management System objectives and maintain operational availability. Competitive solicitation is infeasible because it would require a 381-day procurement lead time plus repair duration, during which the vessel would incur per diem losses of $210,167.00 daily. The non-competitive approach avoids duplicative mobilization costs and schedule delays that would result from awarding work to another contractor.
The modification includes work item WI 0583 CCO-009 requiring OEM technical support for the vessel's main engines, automation systems, and electrical systems during dock trials. The incumbent contractor's industrial workforce, facilities, and material support infrastructure are already mobilized at Alabama Shipyard to support the critical dock trial phase following overhaul completion.
The original contract comprised 118 work items with a performance period from March 26, 2026, through June 6, 2026. Funding is from fiscal year 2026 Operations and Maintenance, Navy (O&M,N) appropriations. Place of performance is Alabama Shipyard. The authority to act under this Class J&A expires one year from Competition Advocate approval.
