AI Contract Overview

The Military Sealift Command (MSC) plans to negotiate a sole source extension to contract N00033-02-C-3201 with Maersk Lines Limited for the continued operation and maintenance of eight Watson class Large, Medium-Speed Roll-On/Roll-Off (LMSR) vessels. This extension is intended to cover a nine-month period, split into two option periods: the first from April 1, 2008, to September 30, 2008, and the second from October 1, 2008, to December 31, 2008. The extension is necessary to bridge the gap between the current contract expiring on March 31, 2008, and the start of performance under a new contract slated for the re-procurement of these vessels. The action will be undertaken on a sole source basis under FAR authorities citing that only one responsible source, Maersk Lines Limited, can fulfill these specialized service requirements. This approach eliminates the need for a solicitation or proposal request, indicating a direct negotiation due to the unique capacity of Maersk to provide these critical services. The contract supports the movement and readiness of military assets and aligns with urgent operational needs, ensuring uninterrupted service in support of Department of Defense activities. The contract oversight is managed by the Military Sealift Command office in Norfolk, VA, with designated points of contact for contract specialists and officers available for communication.

Full Description

This is a notice of intent, not a request for a proposal. A solicitation document will not be issued and proposals will not be requested. The Military Sealift Command (MSC) intends to negotiate an extension under contract N00033-02-C-3201 on a sole source basis with Maersk Lines Limited. The sole source extension is needed for the operation and maintenance of eight (8) Watson class Large, Medium-Speed Roll-On/Roll-Off (LMSR) vessels. It is anticipated that this extension will be needed for a nine month period. The nine month extension will consist of two option periods: Option period One from April 1, 2008-September 30, 2008 (approximately 6 months) and Option period Two from October 1, 2008-December 31, 2008 (approximately 3 months). The current contract N00033-02-C-3201 expires on March 31, 2008, therefore a follow-on sole source extension is needed in order to bridge the gap between the existing contract and the commencement performance under the new contract for the re-procurement of the eight (8) LMSR vessels (Solicitation N00033-07-R-3200). The proposed contract action is for supplies and services for which the Government intends to negotiate with Maersk Lines Limited under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 (a)(2)(iii), Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements) and FAR 6.302-1, Unusual and compelling urgency). Pursuant to FAR 6.302-1 (a)(2)(iii), the services are deemed to be available only from one source for a follow-on contract for the continued provision of highly specialized services.
