RECOVERY--20--PROJECT NUMBER 4201S, RECOVERY - Incremental funding for Engineering Services under contract N00178-04-D-4089-EHP1

This contract pertains to incremental funding for engineering services under the existing contract N00178-04-D-4089-EHP1, designated as part of the Navy's SeaPort-e program. It is structured as a cost reimbursement type contract rather than a fixed-price contract, due to the uncertainties in performance that make it difficult to estimate costs with sufficient accuracy. The contract supports specific recovery projects identified as project number 4201S and complies with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidance. This opportunity is strictly available under the specified contract number and is managed by the Department of Defense’s Naval Surface Warfare Center in Carderock, Maryland. The contract falls under the NAICS code 336611, which relates to ship building and repairing, indicating the nature of the engineering services involved. Although the solicitation was posted in December 2009 as a presolicitation notice for informational purposes, it is important to note that the usual FAR 5.203 requirement does not apply, reflecting the unique contracting conditions. The performance location and specific point of contact details are not provided, but the managing office is located in Bethesda, Maryland. This arrangement highlights the government’s cautious approach, opting for a flexible funding mechanism to accommodate the complexities of the project scope and requirements.
