NOTICE OF AWARD SOLE SOURCE - CONSOL

The U.S. Navy, through the Military Sealift Command in Norfolk, Virginia, has awarded a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract for a voyage charter to provide a single clean, approved U.S. Flag tanker enrolled in the Tanker Security Program for the installation of CONSOL receiving stations. This procurement was justified under FAR 6.103-2 due to unusual and compelling urgency, as the vendor is the only participant that meets all technical and operational requirements for immediate deployment, including pre-approved naval drawings for the CONSOL stations by NAVSEA Port Hueneme Division. The sole objective of this one-voyage contract is to enable the tanker to undergo industrial modifications for CONSOL installation, allowing it to deliver fuel directly to Combat Logistics Fleet vessels and sustain them on station without returning to port. The contract was issued under statutory authority of 41 U.S.C. § 1901(a)(2) and FAR 12.201-1, with no set-aside applied and no competition solicited. The NAICS code is 483111, reflecting deep sea, coastal, and Great Lakes water transportation. The period of performance is limited to a single voyage with an unspecified layday period, and the total value is described as a lump sum, with specific cost elements redacted. The point of contact for contract administration is Tiffany Gallon, with secondary support from Christopher Tomlin, and performance is expected wherever the vessel is required to meet operational needs, though no specific location is designated. Only TSP-qualified vessels with approved CONSOL drawings are eligible, ensuring compliance with security and operational standards for U.S. flag tanker operations.
