About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice on December 22, 2025, for emergency tank top plating replacement work on the USS STETHEM (DDG-63) under Work Item 123-11-001. The Southwest Regional Maintenance Center justified the non-competitive award to Epsilon Systems Solutions under a Multiple Award Contract (MAC-IDIQ) based on the urgent operational need to repair a discovered tank crack that threatens the ship's operational readiness, mission capability, and safety; the competitive solicitation timeline of three weeks was deemed incompatible with the ship's required underway date in early spring. The awarded vendor, Epsilon Systems Solutions, was selected to execute the eight-week repair and production work using funding available from November 7, 2025, and scheduled for FY26 allocation. While the specific contract award amount was not disclosed in the justification documents, the contract number N00024-22-D-4442 was issued on December 4, 2025, to address this critical maintenance requirement. The expedited award approach was necessary to ensure the vessel could meet its operational timeline while preventing safety hazards and potential mission failure that would result from further delays.
