About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command awarded a sole-source contract to Conrad Shipyard LLC for detail, development, and construction of four Yard Repair, Berthing and Messing Barges (YRBM 68-71) on May 13, 2026, with an award amount of $122.375 million.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(3) (industrial mobilization) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), grounded in Conrad's unique production line at its Amelia, Louisiana facility specifically developed for YRBM construction and the critical need to maintain continuity of the specialized workforce and naval industrial base capabilities. The Navy determined that competitive procurement would result in unacceptable delays of at least 50.5 months versus Conrad's accelerated timeline, severely impacting sailor readiness. The requirement was unplanned and added by Congress to Navy FY26 priorities to address the urgent need for additional barges supporting Quality of Service demands.
Delivery is scheduled for July 31, 2029. The YRBMs are non-self-propelled barges designed to provide berthing and messing facilities for up to 139 crew members during ship maintenance periods, supporting maintenance operations for destroyers, cruisers, littoral combat ships, and submarines. Performance is at Conrad's Amelia, Louisiana facility. The Navy plans to pursue a competitive process for upcoming YRBMs in the future under an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity multiple award contract, with an estimated first competition date in Q1 FY27.
