J--Drydocking and Repairs to the Historic Schooner Alma

The National Park Service, under the San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park, intends to award a firm fixed price contract to Bay Ship & Yacht Company located in Alameda, California, for drydocking and repairs to the Historic Schooner Alma. This award will be made through a non-competitive procurement process, in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, which allows for other than full and open competition. The contract, titled "J--Drydocking and Repairs to the Historic Schooner Alma," was announced in January 2009 and handled by the Department of the Interior’s Dsc Contracting Services Division based in Denver, Colorado. The contract focuses specifically on the maintenance and preservation of the Historic Schooner Alma, ensuring the vessel is properly drydocked and repaired. No set-aside provisions or specific NAICS codes were assigned, reflecting the specialized nature of the work and the decision to limit competition. This procurement approach underscores the need to engage a contractor with the specific expertise and capability to perform specialized maritime repair tasks, thus justifying the non-competitive award to Bay Ship & Yacht Company.
