20--Bridge modification to N65540-05-D-0012

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division in Philadelphia plans to negotiate a modification with Oceaneering International, Inc., to extend the current contract N65540-05-D-0012. Originally awarded through full and open competition, this modification aims to increase efforts to maintain SUBSAFE and Level 1 support until a subsequent contract can be established through another competitive process. This adjustment will result in an increased contract ceiling amount, but all other existing contract terms and conditions will remain intact. The modification is being pursued under a sole-source justification, using the authority cited in 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1), which allows contracting with only one responsible source when no other suppliers or services meet agency requirements. The action supports continuity of critical safety-related services without disruption by bridging the gap between contract award cycles. This effort falls under the NAICS code 541330, signifying engineering services, and takes place within the Department of Defense structure.
