About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command has awarded contract N3220526C1217 to Alabama Shipyard Inc. for mid-term availability work on the USNS KANAWHA (T-AO 196) on a limited-source basis, with an original contract value of $21.5 million and a modification encompassing 135 work items.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2), Unusual and Compelling Urgency. The rationale centers on regulatory and safety deficiencies identified by the American Bureau of Shipping and USNS KANAWHA officers that require corrective action before vessel departure. Competitive solicitation is not feasible due to delivery constraints; the procurement package magnitude will require 381 days plus repair accomplishment time, and vessel per diem losses total $112,976 per day. The modification is scheduled for performance from 05 AUG 2026 through 19 NOV 2026, with funding from fiscal year 2026 Operations and Maintenance, Navy (O&M,N) appropriations. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost fair and reasonable under FAR 15.404-1(b). Place of performance is Alabama Shipyard Inc. The contract was awarded 26 FEB 2026. The J&A authority expires one year after Competition Advocate approval.
