R -- Mod to contract

This contract modification pertains to an amendment of an existing agreement with Scientific Applications International Corporation, originally awarded under contract number N00406-02-D-5008. The purpose of the modification is to increase the not-to-exceed (NTE) amounts for various other direct costs (ODCs) associated with operations and maintenance support as well as emergency repair and recovery efforts at the Southeast Alaska Acoustic Measurement Facility (SEAFAC). These services support the Naval Surface Warfare Center Detachment Puget Sound and are critical for the ongoing operational readiness and functionality of SEAFAC. This change is a sole source modification, meaning it is issued without a new solicitation because it amends an active contract. It increases financial limits to accommodate additional costs in supporting the facility without requiring competitive bidding. The contracting agency is the Naval Supply Fleet Logistics Center in Puget Sound, Washington, and the contract falls under the NAICS code 541330, which relates to engineering services. As no solicitation is involved, no further procurement action was initiated, streamlining the continuation of essential services under the existing support framework.
