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

This contract extends services for the maintenance and repair of diesel generator systems at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, through a sole-source modification to ensure uninterrupted 100% operational readiness of mission-critical power systems in support of OP-4 requirements. The six-month extension, running from May 1, 2026, to October 30, 2026, is exercised under FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, and is justified under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(b)(B)(ii) due to the unique and specialized capabilities of the current contractor, Bamajack, LLC, which are not available from any other source. A full and open competition is deemed impractical given the short duration of the extension and the unacceptable operational risk posed by a transition to a new vendor, including potential service gaps and delays in mobilization and familiarity with the systems. The base contract, awarded on May 1, 2025, was a firm-fixed-price agreement, and this extension maintains identical scope, rates, and terms, with no changes to pricing structure or performance methodology. The work involves preventative and remedial maintenance for Caterpillar Models 3512C and C32 diesel generators and associated components, with all services performed on-site at the shipyard. The extension was approved through PL-2399, a Justification and Approval document dated April 21, 2026, which was reviewed and signed by the Contracting Officer, Technical Cognizance, and Legal Sufficiency Officer. Funding is sourced from Fiscal Year 2026 Operations & Maintenance, Navy, and while no formal evaluation factors, inspection standards, or packaging requirements are detailed, acceptance of services occurs at the performance location under Navy oversight. The original contract and its extension are both firm-fixed-price, with no separate invoicing instructions, payment office details, or solicitation-based requirements provided, consistent with a non-competitive, necessity-driven modification. No representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status disclosures from the contractor are included, and while a follow-on contract is anticipated, it remains unpriced and unfinalized.
