Exercise of Option Item 0021

This contract award, issued by the Department of Defense Strategic Systems Programs, involves the exercise of Option Item 0021 under solicitation N00030R0043. The scope of work focuses on the disassembly and disposal of first, second, and third stage motors for Trident I (C4) and Trident II (D5) systems. This action was negotiated under the authority of 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1) as part of the broader agreement N00030-16-C-0043. The government determined that exercising this FY18 option was the most advantageous approach based on a price analysis escalating from FY17 rates. Due to the unpredictable nature of the work, the inability to forecast the precise methods of performance, and fluctuating costs, a fixed price contract was deemed inappropriate for these specific requirements. The contract is categorized under NAICS code 541330 and is managed out of the Washington Navy Yard.
