J&A for 6-Month Extension of Diesel Generator Services

This contract extension is intended to support OP-4 operational requirements by ensuring diesel generator systems remain fully operational without interruption. The extension spans six months and is being executed as a sole-source action to maintain service continuity and mitigate the risks that would arise from transitioning to a new contractor. The current provider is retained to prevent any service gaps, which is critical given the constant availability needed for these systems. Conducting a full and open competition for this short-term extension would cause delays and operational inefficiencies, as the timeline for solicitation, evaluation, award, and onboarding of a new vendor would exceed the contract period and increase risk to system reliability. The Department of Defense, specifically the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, is the awarding agency, and this justification is based on the need for a cost-effective, risk-averse, and efficient solution. The action aligns with NAICS code 811310, relating to diesel engine maintenance services. The justification and approval supporting this sole-source extension were formally documented and approved on April 21, 2026. The contract is managed from Portsmouth, NH, with the work taking place in Maine, and the primary contact for the contract is David Agea. This extension ensures uninterrupted support essential for the Navy’s operational readiness.
