USS Mobile FY25 DSRA New Work J&A

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has issued a Special Notice concerning a contract modification for the USS Mobile (LCS 26) Fiscal Year 2025 Docking Selected Restricted Availability (DSRA). The notice involves adding two new work items to an existing contract with BAE Systems San Diego Ship Repair Inc. for critical ship maintenance. These work items include structural repairs to prevent water intrusion and a chilled water piping repair, with a total contract value of $1,100,524.62. The modification is being processed as a sole source contract due to urgent repair needs discovered during the ship's maintenance period. The work is funded by FY25 OPN-TYCOM and is considered critical to maintaining the ship's operational readiness.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to justify a sole source contract modification that addresses immediate and critical repair needs for the USS Mobile. The Navy determined that competing these work items would cause significant schedule delays and potentially impact mission readiness, making BAE Systems the most suitable contractor given their ongoing maintenance work. The contract modification must be completed by the Production Complete Date of 28 August 2025 to ensure the ship can meet its operational and testing requirements. The work is scheduled to begin on 12 March 2025 and be completed by 21 November 2025, with the overall ship availability starting 04 December 2024. No specific set-aside criteria are mentioned, suggesting the opportunity is open to qualified contractors, though the sole source nature effectively limits competition. The Navy's primary objective is to efficiently address urgent structural and mechanical repairs without disrupting the existing maintenance timeline.
