USS mobile drsa 7 j&a

The Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has issued a Special Notice concerning a contract modification for the USS MOBILE (LCS 26), a Littoral Combat Ship. The notice focuses on a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole source contract with BAE Systems San Diego Ship Repair Inc. The modification involves adding a Preventative Maintenance Availability (PMAV) Package to an existing contract, with work scheduled from 25 April 2025 to 28 August 2025. The contract is specifically aligned with the ship's Fiscal Year 2025 Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA). The total value of the additional work is set at a firm fixed price of $86,482.80.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to document the rationale for a sole source contract modification, which will be executed directly with BAE Systems due to the ship's current location and ongoing repairs. The decision to sole source the additional maintenance work is predicated on avoiding potential substantial delays and increased costs that could arise from competitive bidding. Contractors should note the opportunity is not set aside for any specific group and is posted from May 1, 2025, with a response deadline of May 4, 2025. The government's primary objective is to maintain the operational readiness of the USS MOBILE and ensure its scheduled training is not compromised. While specific eligibility criteria are not extensively detailed, the notice suggests that the work is specifically tailored to BAE Systems due to their current involvement with the ship's maintenance. Interested parties should carefully review the attached Justification and Approval document for comprehensive details about the contract modification.
