Notice of Award - INR 250 Floating Dock System

The U.S. Navy, through NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, has awarded a sole-source firm-fixed-price contract under FAR 12.102(b) to EZ Docks Unlimited LLC for the procurement, installation, and removal of a 770-foot floating dock system to support the International Naval Review 250 event in Bayonne, New Jersey. The contract, identified by solicitation number N0018926PL139, was issued without competitive solicitation due to unusual and compelling urgency, as EZ Docks is the only vendor capable of delivering and installing the system by the mandatory deadline of May 22, 2026, in time for Navy Harbor Security boats to begin arriving on June 21, 2026. The scope includes 155 sections of 60”x120” dock modules, 14 sections of 80”x120” dock modules, 1,000 coupler sets, a gangway rental, 120 nylon cleats, 120 tie-up cleat brackets, and 34 heavy-duty Y-beams, with all work to be performed at the UPS Bayonne pier. The acquisition is classified as a commercial item under 41 U.S.C. 1901, relying on the vendor’s proven commercial product specifications rather than detailed military standards. There are no anticipated follow-on awards, and the requirement is singularly tied to the INR 250 event. While the contract specifies the place of performance, delivery timeline, and nature of goods, critical financial details such as unit prices, extended costs, total contract value, accounting codes, and payment instructions are not documented. The point of contact for contracting administration is Fabiola Ortiz, with supplementary support from Chelsey Crawford, both located at NAVSUP FLC Norfolk. No formal inspections, packaging standards, evaluation factors, or offeror certifications are included, as the award rests entirely on expedited necessity and the vendor’s unique capability to meet the urgent operational need within a compressed schedule.
